About Chitwan & Bardia National Park Tours
Chitwan National Park
Chitwan National Park is a world heritage property, and it also contains a Ramsar Site – Beeshazari Tal in its buffer zone. Chitwan national Park has a history of over 3 decades in park management and a rich experience in resolving conflicts between the park and the people.
It is a rich natural area in the Terai, the subtropical southern part of Nepal. A total of 68 species of mammals, 544 species of birds, 56 species of herpetofauna and 126 species of fish have been recorded in the park. The park is especially renowned for its protection of the beautiful One Horned Rhinoceros, Royal Bengal Tiger and Gharial Crocodile.
We can organize Chitwan safari from one night two days to as long as you want on your time frame and request.
Bardia National Park
The parks origins began in the late 1960's when some 368 square kilometers were set aside as royal hunting grounds. However, it wasn't until 1982 that the Royal Bardia National Reserve was officially formed, and even then it didn't become a fully fledged National Park until 1988. The aim was to preserve the diversity of decreasing species, in particular the tiger and its natural prey species.
Over 1400 people living in the area, many of them farmers, were removed to provide a greater area for the abundant species within the park. A buffer zone and community forest were established around the park to try to reduce subsistence poaching inside the park by the local communities. Without so much human interference the diverse habitats inside the park have improved greatly. Bardia's relatively remote location has meant the Park has enjoyed minimum impact from tourism, and though access has improved significantly over recent years, visitor numbers are still much lower than Nepal's most famous park, Chitwan.
It wasn't until the mid 90's that basic facilities for travelers began to appear. Since then, tourism has started to increase and there now are a variety of lodges to choose from. To date, the impact of visiting travelers has been minimal and the experience for a visitor is very different to that in Chitwan National Park as you feel much closer to nature and completely removed from bright lights shops, restaurants, bars and traffic.
We can organize Bardia Safari trip from two night three days to as many days and nights you want to stay. We can make packages to suit your request.
