Wildlife tours in Nepal are exciting and full of different things to do for people who love nature. By traveling from Australia to this Himalayan country, you'll be entering a world with a wide range of habitats, from the jungles of the Terai area to the alpine forests higher up.
For the start of your trip, you could fly into Kathmandu and then take a short domestic flight or drive to Chitwan National Park or Bardia National Park, which are two of the most famous places for wildlife tours. Chitwan is a UNESCO World Heritage site known for having Bengal tigers, one-horned rhinoceroses, and many kinds of birds. You can get around the park on safaris on elephant backs, car tours, or even canoe rides, all of which let you see animals in their natural environments.
Bardia National Park is farther away, so it doesn't get as many visitors. However, it's just as exciting to see wildlife, like the rare Royal Bengal tiger. Here, the experience is rougher and more personal. Walking tours and river trips put you in close contact with nature.
You can also visit the Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve, which is famous for birdwatching, or do something to help protect wildlife, like following it with local experts. The walks can also teach you about Nepalese culture because they often include interactions with local people. There, you can learn about traditional ways to protect wildlife and how important animals are in Nepalese culture.
Between October and March, when the weather is cooler and you can see more, is the best time to go on a wildlife tour in Nepal. On the other hand, April and May can be beautiful if you like to watch birds migrate.
When you book a wildlife tour from Australia, you can choose from custom-made packages with different levels of comfort and fun. Some packages include stays in high-end lodges, while others offer more basic lodging. You should choose a tour company that is environmentally friendly and cares about protecting wildlife to make sure that your trip is good for the area's nature and people who live there.
