Bardia National Park, One of the 12 National Parks in Nepal, situates in the South-West part of Nepal. Preserving the Unspoiled Nature, this National Park was established in 1998AD, which covers 986 Sq Km. It remains a tropical ecstasy of rare wild animals, pristine wilderness, gigantic timberlands, and striking Tharu communal. In terms of habitats and greeneries, it positions top in Nepal.
The National Park contains sedimentary prairie along with deciduous forestry where different species of flora and fauna are preserved. Unlike Chitwan National Park, Bardia is yet to be commercialized. As a result, travelers feel less crowded, more wilderness, and unspoiled nature in this Park. Another fantastic fact about Bardiya is the settlement of indigenous Tharu communities. They are living following unique values, assumptions, and ways of living.
This National Park is connected with Banke National Park and is famous for protecting several endangered habitats as Royal Bengal Tigers, One-horned Rhinos, Gangetic dolphins, Gharial crocodile, and many more. Furthermore, this National Park is the residence of 642 species of animals, 125 species of fish, and 407 species of birds.

Tourists enjoy cultural dance programs, float safari, bird-watching, and other jungle activities for the next three days.
