A
trip to Nepal is incomplete if you have not been on a jungle
safari. While the mountains of the north have some of the
highest and most magnificent peaks in the world, the tropical
jungles of the Terai preserve some of the best wildlife habitat
in the subcontinent. Some of these rich wildlife habitats
are now protected, and can be tours on elephant back, 4 WD
vehicles, and dugout canoes or on foot accompanied by a licensed
guide.
Nepal has 16 national parks, wildlife reserves and conservation
area, occupying 16% of its total geographical area. Jungle
safaris on elephant back or Jeep rides are offered at the
Parsa Wildlife Reserve, Royal Bardia National Park, Royal
Chitwan National Park and the Royal Sukhlaphanta wildlife
Reserve, all located in the terai.
Among them, there are two famous two National Parks Royal
Chitwan National Park, & Bardia National Park where you
can explore the wild-life getting yourself deep into the heart
of the forest, while the others serve as the natural habitat
to thousands of animals including Snow-Leopard,Gharials, Crocodiles
Ram, Bob Cats, endagered Red Panda, Elks, Deers, Anteplores,
Kasturi, monkeys, hundreds of birds (in fact Arun Valley has
the largest population of birds (650+) and butterflies (800+)
in the entire world), and butterflies. |
