South
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.

Nepal has
1310 Himalayan peaks over 6000 meters, offering the joys of mountaineering
