Trip Information - Good to Know

Tour Difficulty

Bardia Jungle Safari Tour is an easy wildlife tour that does not involve any prior trekking experience or physical fitness. Majority of the activities are done by road or guided nature walk on fairly level grounds within and around the Bardia National Park.

The wildlife tracking activities may include some hours of walking through forests, grasslands and the natural trails. The speed is however relatively slow and can accommodate most travelers of reasonable mobility. The jeep safaris are a comfortable means to cover more parts of the park without the need to work so hard.

This itinerary is suitable for families, couples, solo travelers, and senior travelers who wish to experience Nepal’s wildlife without undertaking a trekking adventure. They are also interested in photography and the natural environment.

Highest Elevation

The highest elevation during Bardia Jungle Safari Tour is Kathmandu, which sits at approximately 1,400 meters above sea level. Most safari activities take place in Bardia National Park, located in Nepal’s lowland Terai region at elevations ranging from about 150 to 300 meters in the main visitor areas.

Since the tour will be done in the Terai region, there is no concern with altitude sickness. Tourists do not have to undergo the process of acclimatizing themselves and make particular arrangements in connection with specific altitudes.

The reduced altitude also provides an entirely different setting as compared to the Nepal Himalayan areas. Tourists get to see subtropical forests, river systems, grasslands and wildlife habitats which are hardly present in the mountainous regions of the country.

Best Time for the Tour

The Bardia Jungle Safari Package can be done at any time of the year, although weather and wildlife sightseeing opportunities differ in different seasons. The period between October and April is usually a good time to visit as the weather is more comfortable and there is often a better view of the park.

The winter months are good to do outdoor activities and observe wildlife. Warmer weather and the movement of wildlife can provide good safari experiences during springtime. Birdwatchers may also find different seasons attractive depending on migratory bird activity.

The monsoon season also brings more rainfall and green growth to the park. The landscape gets greener, but in some cases, the vegetation is so thick that wildlife is more challenging to observe during the activities of the safari.

Accommodation

The Bardia National Park Safari offers accommodation in a resort that is close to the park. These properties are arranged in a way that they offer comfort and convenience without compromising on accessibility of wildlife activities and guided tours.

Rooms can have their own bathrooms, dining areas, gardens, and outdoor spaces, depending on the type of package chosen. The design of many resorts in the area blends with the natural environment around but provides modern facilities to the travelers.

The resort offers a nice environment to relax, eat, and talk about the experiences of the day with guides and other guests after an exploration of wildlife.

Meals During the Tour

Dining at the Bardia Jungle Safari Tour is usually served at the resort and it can consist of Nepali, regional and international cuisine. The specific diet plan will be determined by the package chosen and the accommodation.

They tend to use fresh ingredients that are produced locally and most resorts have a variety of meals that will fit various dieting needs. There are a lot of vegetarian dishes and special diets can be easily met with prior notice.

Dining times can be used to take a break between activities and discover more about the area with the help of guides and resort employees. Comfortable accommodation and convenient dining services are other factors that make visiting the safari enjoyable.

Transportation

The Bardia Jungle Safari Tour covers transportation costs such as domestic flights between Kathmandu and Nepalgunj and private vehicle transfers between Nepalgunj and Bardia National Park. The combination reduces the time spent on traveling, and enables tourists to spend as much time as possible to explore the park.

A convenient flight between the capital of Nepal and the western lowlands is the flight to Nepalgunj. After landing, the drive to Bardia passes through rural settlements, agricultural areas, and landscapes characteristic of the Terai region. The journey also provides a glimpse into everyday life in western Nepal.

Mega Treks and Expedition handles all transportation arrangements to ensure smooth transfers throughout the tour. Air and road transport make Bardia accessible and yet a comfortable travelling experience.
