Royal Bardia National
Park
Royal Bardia national Park
situated in western Terai of Nepal is one
of largest undisturbed parks in the region.
The park is the home of many endangered
animals, reptiles and birds - including
the elusive Tiger. Some years ago several
one horned rhinos where translocated here
from Chitwan. Over the years Bardia has
also been a good place for tiger viewing
- a rare event anywhere. Recently sightings
of a group of wild elephants have further
enhanced the wildlife experience possible
in this beautiful and unspoiled sanctuary.
The Bardia Lodge and Tented Camp provides
comfortable accommodation and outings in
this unique park set on the banks of the
Karnali River. A stay in this park can be
combined with raft trip down the Karnali
and Bheri rivers or with a trek to Dolpo,
Rara Lake or Humla in far western Nepal.

congregate here in January and February
before they migrate north when the warm
weather begins. Kosi Tapu Tented Camp situated
on the fringe of the reserve provides the
only accommodation to date. Well qualified
nature guides take the guests out on walks,
jeep drives and boat rides to look for birds
