Bardia National Park is probably the most virgin and wild in Nepal. It is also the largest park in the Terai. Earlier part hunting ground, it was declared a National Park in the year 1988 as Royal Bardia National Park. Three fourth of the park is covered by Sal Forests and the rest by Rivers and some grasslands. These protect over 640 wildlife species which includes 23 Reptile and Amphibian species, a few gharial, 125 fish species, 53 Mammals and over 407 bird species.
Rhinoceros, wild elephant, Bengal tiger, swamp deer, and Gangetic dolphin are amongst the 53 mammals found in the area. Amongst the 407 bird species are the Bengal florican, white-rumped vulture, peafowl, and bar-headed geese, Lesser florican, sarus crane, grey-crowned prinia, jungle prinia, pale-footed bush warbler, aberrant bush warbler, striated grassbird, golden-headed cisticola and chestnut-capped babbler.

Chitwan National Park is a UNESCO protected World Heritage Site which was designated as a national Park in 1973. The park is world renowned for Rhino sightings in great numbers. With mixed vegetation of Savannah, Riverine and Sal forest, Chitwan is Nepal’s most visited National Park and a haven for wild life aficionados. Four of the Big Five can be seen (Rhinos, Tigers, Leopards and Asiatic Elephants) along with a rich population of 4 types of deer, wild boars, marsh muggars and ghariyals. Due to its closeness to Himalayan circuit the park also shelters winter and summer migrants along with its more than 500 native bird species. Chitwan is a bird watcher’s paradise - indigenous and migrant species like Great Hornbill, Ruddy Shelduck, Pied Kingfisher and Red Headed Trogon can also be found. Strict conservation policies and military patrolling have decimated poaching incidents and the park has been showing a growth in the Rhino Population.
Chitwan is a hindi word formed by two independent words Chit and Van translating to “heart of the jungle”. The shape of the park is largely dictated by the disposition of the three rivers which form much of the boundaries- the Narayani and Rapti in the north, and the Reu flowing through the National Park. The topography and variety of habitats- savannahs, riverine from valleys, sal of the hills and chir pine along the ridges contribute to the forest’s beauty and complexity. The Elephant grass that grows up to 22 ft lays a different game for summer, spring and winters. The majesty of Chitwan has the powers to charm, beguile, elate and dwarf men with its dense vegetation and intensity.
