Overview of Bardia National Park Safari
Nepal's premier wild tiger territory! Untamed wilderness safari in Bardia National Park tracking Royal Bengal Tigers, wild elephants, and Gangetic river dolphins.
Bardia National Park is the largest and most undisturbed protected wilderness in the lowland Terai of western Nepal. Far less commercialized than Chitwan, Bardia is widely recognized by wildlife photographers and conservationists as the premier destination in Asia for tracking wild Royal Bengal Tigers on foot. The park also shelters wild Asian elephant herds, one-horned rhinos, leopards, and the rare freshwater Gangetic river dolphin in the Geruwa branch of the Karnali River.
