Embark on a thrilling Bardiya Jungle Safari Tour, delving into the heart of Nepal’s wilderness. Encounter Royal Bengal tigers, elusive rhinos, and diverse fauna.

Immerse in the serenity of Bardiya’s riverine landscapes, where elephants bathe and crocodiles bask. Let the tranquility of the surroundings rejuvenate your spirit.

Engage with local Tharu communities, learning about their harmonious coexistence with nature. Witness their simple yet contented lives and be inspired to preserve the delicate balance between people and the wild.

Nature walks, bird watching, river fun, and many exotic excursions through the lowland subtropical forest are all possible on the Bardiya Jungle Safari Tour. This is one of the most diversified jungle safari tours in Nepal, as travelers can experience the unique traditions of the ethnic Tharu community alongside the wonders of the flora, fauna, and vegetation. Famously visited by Prince Harry of Great Britain, the region is worth exploring for an amazing wilderness holiday. Book this tour package for a memorable jungle nature walk, tiger tracking, and river dolphin experience in Bardiya.

A scenic flight from Kathmandu takes you to Nepalgunj, a commercial hub near the Indo-Nepal border. A bus drive then takes you to a jungle resort in Bardiya on the banks of the Karnali, the longest river in Nepal. The major highlight of the region is its authenticity. The typical Tharu cultural village visits and jeep safaris deep inside the jungle offer a truly mystical jungle environment. River dolphin watching and fishing in the Karnali fascinate visitors, and the bonfires and local brews together with the tranquil environment ignite the adventurous spirit. Bird watching and tiger tracking bring you closer to nature and its wonders. The boating tours inside the jungle, accompanied by the sounds of animals at night, make this an extraordinary experience.
