Overview

Bardiya National Park is one of the undisturbed protected areas in the lower belt of western Nepal in the Bardiya district. The initial Karnali Wildlife Reserve was extended into the 968 km² and declared a National Park in 1988. The park was established to preserve the ecosystem and protect the habitat for several endangered and rare floras and faunas, with 70% of the subtropical moist deciduous forest and alluvial grasslands. A 45-minute flight from Kathmandu to Nepalgunj will bring travelers to the lowest altitude of Nepal, which is full of wildlife and dense woods. The city is neighboring two major national Parks: Banke National Park and Bardiya National Park.  
The protected area is intersected by the Babai River and is bordered by the Karnali River on the west of the park. These two rivers are the habitat for 642 faunal species, including a few alligators, 23 types of reptiles, and 125 species of fish. The Nepalese Army protects the Bardiya National Park. Similarly, wild elephants and Bengal tigers often cross human settlements and roads.
The Bardiya National Park has many lodges, resorts, and homestays to provide the best wildlife experience. The unforgettable elephant ride and jeep safari introduce you to the dense forest, elephants, rhinos, tigers, leopards, and other wild animals and birds. Travelers can also enjoy the real adventure of camping, hiking, rafting, cycling, canoe riding, and night campfires with hot barbecues of organically reared chicken and roasted boar. 
The park is home to at least 53 species of mammals, including wild elephants, one-horned rhinoceros, Bengal tiger, swamp deer, blackbuck, rusty-spotted cat, fishing cat, and Gangetic dolphin. The Bardiya National Park protects 407 recorded bird species, including bar-headed geese, white-rumped vultures, Bengal floricans, Grey-crowned Prinia, striated grassbirds, and other rare birds. 
While the park is full of wildlife and dense forest, it also offers the incredible cultural experience of the indigenous tribal people called Rana Tharu residing in the protected area. The park is quite famous for being a living museum of the Tharu indigenous community, including homestays and cultural dances that preserve their culture and ethnicity. Guests are welcomed with a smile and garland following a cultural dance in ethnic attire.

The best time to travel to Nepal depends on your preferences and the type of excursions or events you intend to participate in. Generally, Nepal has four distinct seasons, each with unique charms and challenges.

Autumn Season: September to November is Nepal's best time for Trekking and outdoor activities. Clear skies, pleasant temperatures, and festivals like Dashain Tihar and Chhat make this period ideal for experiencing Nepali culture.

Winter Season: Cold temperatures start in late November or early December, but clear skies suit budget travelers. Lower-elevation treks and skiing/snowboarding in ski resorts are popular activities.

Spring Season: From late February to May, warmer temperatures make it perfect for Trekking. Rhododendrons bloom, adding to the scenic beauty. Celebrations like Holi and Buddha Jayanti occur during this time.

Summer Season: Monsoon rains from June to August make trekking challenging, but it's a great time to experience lush greenery and agriculture.
