While
the high Himalaya makes up Nepal northern region, the southern
lowland known as the Terai is covered with dense tropical jungles
teeming with diverse wildlife and exotic birds. Here you will find
some of the most exciting safari destinations in the world. You will
be going into deep jungle on elephant back or four-wheel drive
vehicle to view wild animals in their natural habitat. Other thrills
are canoe rides on the jungle rivers, nature walks, bird watching
excursions, and village tours. Among the 14 national parks and
wildlife reserves in the Kingdom, the Royal Chitwan National Park
(932 sq km) is the most popular safari destination. More than 43
species of animals are found in Chitwan. The endangered one-homed
rhino, Royal Bengal tiger, Gharial crocodile, four-horned antelope,
striped hyena, and the Gangetic dolphin are the main attractions
here. The best part is that it is close to Kathmandu and easily
accessible (only 165 km overland), and Bharatpur airport adjoining
the park is a mere 25-minute flight away (there are daily flights
from Kathmandu). Many adventurers also choose to go down by raft.
However you go, a jungle safari is an experience you will remember
for a long time.
