Bardia Jungle Safari

It is the largest and most undisturbed wild area of the Terai region in Nepal Himalayas. It is situated in the low land of Western Terai Similar to Chitwan National Park, but with a drier climate and a more remote location, Bardia covers 968-sq-kms of riverine grassland and sal forests.

Terai or lowland hills and valleys of southern Nepal, nowhere over 1,000 feet in elevation, extend all along the Indian border. The Terai once supported a healthy wildlife population in a habitat of 25-foot high elephant grass and dense hardwood forests, but had very few people, due to virulent malarial mosquitoes.

Bardia was a royal hunting reserve of Nepal's Rana rulers from 1846 to 1950. In Nepal, wildlife lost whatever protection the royal hunting reserve conveyed when the Rana rule ended in the 1950's. A well-meaning malaria eradication program in the 1950's and 1960's opened the terai for settlement, and transformed about 75% of the native Terai to agricultural land. Wildlife populations declined with the combination of increased settlement and widespread poaching. Bardia was declared a wildlife reserve in 1976, first measuring 134 sq miles and expanded in 1985 to 374 sq miles.It was established to protect eco-system and other species of animals.

The following activities can be done in Bardia Jungle Safari; Bird watching, nature walks, cycle tours, Visit Karnali Bridge, isolated village and surrounding farm land, elephant safari, tharu cultural programme, canoeing trip in and rafting in Karnali River, and jungle drive.
