Bardiya National Park, Nepal

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Bardiya National Park is Nepal's largest protected area in the Terai lowlands, covering over 968 square kilometres of dense sal forest, grasslands, and river floodplains along the Karnali River in the country's far west. It is one of the best places in Asia to spot wild Bengal tigers and is also home to one-horned rhinoceroses, wild elephants, gharial crocodiles, and Gangetic dolphins. Far less visited than Chitwan National Park, Bardiya attracts travellers seeking a more remote and immersive wildlife experience, with activities including jungle safaris, guided walks, and river excursions. Its relative isolation makes it a favourite for those looking to explore Nepal's wilderness beyond the main tourist trail.

Bardiya Jungle Safari 4 Days — Self-Launched

A self-launched version of Peregrine Treks' 4-day Bardiya Jungle Safari — same route (Kathmandu → Nepalgunj → Bardia National Park → Kathmandu), same wildlife experiences, booked independently. You'll fly or bus to Nepalgunj, base yourself in a Tharu-run guesthouse near the park gate at Thakurdwara, and book jeep safaris, a guided jungle walk and the Tharu cultural show directly with local operators. Bardiya is Nepal's wildest and least-visited lowland park — tigers, one-horned rhinos, wild elephants and Gangetic dolphins — and doing it yourself costs a fraction of the £900+ group-tour price, with more flexibility on safari timing.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Bardiya National Park, Nepal yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn a completely impractical skill from a local — fire spinning, competitive coconut opening, whatever — and become weirdly good at it."
