Bardiya National Park offers a more remote and pristine wilderness experience compared to Chitwan. It is less crowded and provides higher chances of spotting Bengal tigers and other wildlife, including rhinos and elephants. The terrain and environment are also wilder, making it an ideal destination for nature lovers seeking a more untouched jungle experience.
Yes! The Karnali River, which flows through Bardiya, is home to the rare Gangetic dolphins. A river safari or rafting experience gives you the opportunity to spot these incredible creatures in their natural habitat.
Bardiya is perfect for families who enjoy nature and adventure. While it may not be ideal for younger children who need constant attention, older children and nature-loving families will appreciate the immersive experience in the wilderness. The park offers activities that are educational and exciting, but it's best for those who enjoy a more rugged and remote experience compared to other more accessible parks like Chitwan.
The best time to visit Bardiya is from October to May. During these months, the weather is generally dry, making it easier to spot wildlife. The winter months (October to February) offer cooler temperatures, while the spring (March to May) is warmer and offers a lush landscape.
