Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival in Kathmandu and transfer to hotel
Day 2: Fly to Nepalgunj and drive to Bardiya
Day 3: Jungle activities at Bardiya National Park
Jungle walks (half or full days) is the most common way to explore the park. These jungle walks have regular breaks at watchtowers and areas that the guides know are good for finding tracks and spotting larger animals.
Elephant safaris (1 or 2 hours) take part in the early morning or late afternoon, mainly targeting rhino sightings and birds. They normally combine these with a tour of the park visitor center and crocodile breeding center.
Day 4: Jungle drives and bird watching (half of the full days)
This jeep safari into the park allows you to cover lot more ground, explore different habitats and target species you’ve not seen already. Some short jungle walks and breaks at spotting sites are built in. A wide variety of short or longer walks are available from the lodge to learn about local Tharu village life and see some of the many bird species living on the park fringes and in the surrounding farmland.
Day 5: Drive to Nepalgunj and fly back to Kathmandu
