Bardia National Park, located in the lowland Terai of Nepal and covering an impressive area of 968 sq. km., is the largest National Park in the western Terai of Nepal. This National Park is famous for inhabiting Bengal tigers, Wild Asian elephants, and One-Horned rhinos.
In addition to inhabiting these rare and amazing animals, Bardia is home to several other spectacular wildlife, such as blunt-snouted Marsh Mugger, fish-eating Gharial, Chital or spotted Deer, Hog Deer, Barking Deer, Sambhar, Barasingha, Gaur (the largest wild oxen in world), Wild Boar, Blue Bull or Nilgai (the largest antelope on the Indian subcontinent), Himalayan Tahr, Serow, and Gorals. Small mammals that can be found in this place include Langur Monkey, Rhesus Macaque, jackal, three species of cats (jungle, leopard and fishing), Yellow-throated Marten, mongoose, and Indian Otter.
Bardia National Park is also equally impressive when it comes to aerial and aquatic life. There are more than 400 species of birds, which includes endangered species like Bengal Florican and Sarus Crane, and more than 125 species of fish. Karnali and Babai river offers tourists ample opportunity to go fishing. You can also see the rare Gangetic Dolphin and Mahseer in these rivers. The ideal time to visit Bardia if you are bird-watcher is either in November or from February to April because that is when birds immigrate.
