If you're dreaming of venturing into Nepal’s raw, untouched wilderness, the 3 Nights 4 Days Bardia National Park Tour is your perfect gateway to the wild. Unlike the often-traveled mountainous trails of Nepal, this tour takes you deep into the heart of the Terai plains, offering a completely different perspective of the country’s natural beauty. Known as the largest and most remote national park in Nepal, Bardia National Park spans over 968 square kilometers of lush forests, open grasslands, and riverbanks, making it a haven for wildlife enthusiasts and nature lovers. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a seasoned traveler, this short but immersive wildlife journey brings you face to face with the very soul of Nepal’s biodiversity.
This wildlife tour is ideal for travelers looking to witness rare species in their natural habitat. The highlight of this tour is undoubtedly the chance to see the majestic Royal Bengal Tiger, one of the most elusive and endangered predators on the planet. With only about 2,500 Royal Bengal Tigers left in the wild worldwide, spotting one in Bardia’s deep sal forests is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Alongside these mighty cats, the park is also home to one-horned rhinoceroses, wild elephants, swamp deer, mugger crocodiles, and over 400 species of birds, offering an unforgettable wildlife spectacle. The tour also includes jeep safaris and guided jungle walks, giving you multiple opportunities to observe wildlife up close while enjoying the tranquil beauty of the park’s pristine ecosystem.
The 3 Nights 4 Days Bardia National Park Tour starts with a scenic flight from Kathmandu to Nepalgunj, the nearest city to Bardia. Upon arrival, you’ll be welcomed by one of our representatives, who will transfer you to your jungle lodge near the park. Your adventure begins with a short excursion into the local Tharu villages, where you'll discover the fascinating traditions, culture, and hospitality of one of Nepal’s indigenous communities. During your stay, you’ll enjoy authentic Tharu cuisine, explore their unique mud-plastered homes, and witness the vibrant Tharu cultural dance, an energetic performance rarely seen outside the Terai.
As your exploration unfolds, you’ll dive deeper into the wild with a thrilling jeep safari that takes you through the park’s core zones. With the help of experienced naturalist guides, you’ll track animal footprints, listen to the sounds of the jungle, and maybe even witness a tiger crossing your path. Later, take a peaceful walk into the forest, where you’ll discover medicinal plants, exotic birds, and possibly spot a herd of elephants or deer grazing in the meadows. One of the most serene experiences of the tour is watching the sunset over the Karnali River, where crocodiles bask on the banks and dolphins occasionally break the water’s surface.
This Nepal Wildlife Tour package also includes a visit to elephant and crocodile breeding centers, giving you insights into Nepal’s conservation efforts and the challenges faced in protecting these endangered animals.
