Biodiversity is a major reason why Jungle Safari in Nepal has an amazing scope in the tourism industry. In the world map, Nepal is actually very small. In fact, it covers just 0.1% of the global area. However, the fact that 3.2% and 1.1% of the world’s known flora and fauna, respectively, are found in Nepal says a lot about its biodiversity. 

Nepal is home to several species of birds and animals. The climatic change also favors the existence of unique wildlife in several parts of Nepal. About 45% of Nepal’s total area is covered with forest. Statistics say that there are over 850 species of birds and 185 species of mammals in Nepal.

There is a huge scope for Jungle safari as an adventurous activity for both domestic and foreign tourists. Especially if you are a nature-loving person, you may find a sense of fulfillment by walking the jungles of Nepal.

National Parks in Nepal and Wildlife Reserves

About 19.7% of the country’s total land is covered by National Parks, Conservative Areas, and Wildlife Reserves.
National Parks – 9
Conservative Areas – 6 
Wildlife Reserves – 3
Hunting Reserves – 1

Visitors are able to see a variety of wildlife in the National Parks and Wildlife Reserves. These sanctuaries protect rare flora and fauna from poachers and smugglers. 

Chitwan National Park is where you will get to explore a proper Jungle Safari in Nepal. This National Park grants shelter to two of the rarest and most smuggled wildlife – One-horned Rhino and the Royal Bengal Tiger. 

A great opportunity for jungle adventure indeed!

Chances are, you could actually witness these majestic animals while on Chitwan National Park jungle safari. The most common safaris are Elephant ride safari and Jeep safari. It entirely depends on your time and interest. 

Although, one thing is guaranteed – the greenery of Sal forest with a variety of wildlife.

Bardiya Jungle Safari is another popular and unspoiled sanctuary. The biggest National Park in Terai, Bardiya N.P. is arguably the better place for tiger viewing.

Similarly, sightings of several species of birds and wild elephants have enhanced the wildlife experience of this place.

That’s not it!

Another thrilling yet peaceful adventurous activity you can perform in the jungles of Nepal is nature walk/bird watching.
