Bardia National park lies in the Western Terai of Nepal which has an area of 968 sq. km. and is one of the largest National Park in the lowland of Terai. There are many species of wild life found in Bardia National park, and among them Royal Bengal Tiger is one of the special endangered wild animal which can be seen here.

Bardia National Park is getting popular amongst the foreigner as well as domestic tourist in the recent days as we can see beautiful and unspoiled wilderness in the Terai of Nepal with the amazing view of forests and nearby lying Karnali river, one of the longest river of Nepal. We can also observe the local Tharu culture around Bardia along with the pure wildlife. We have more chances of seeing the wilderness as this national park is less unpopulated as compared to Chitwan National Park.

The journey to Bardia National Park begins either by taking the Flight from Kathmandu - Nepalgunj and then drive 39 km from there to Bardia. Also, it is possible to go by land via public / private transportation to Bardia National Park but the journey will be longer and more tiring via vehicle. But we can continue the journey to Bardia via vehicle while doing Buddhist Cultural Tour or any other tour as it takes about 6 hours (approx 267 km) from Lumbini to Bardia. We can see less number of tourists going to Bardia because of longer distance to be travelled, but on the other hand we can explore the beauty of real wilderness and forest during the Bardia National Park tour. 

We can do jungle as well as other adventurous and fun activity during this tour. We can do jungle walk, bird watching, wilderness drive, wildlife rafting, tharu culture museum tour, tharu cultural dance adn visit Elephant Bredding center during the visit to Bardia National Park. The packages are available for 2N/3D, 3N/4D and so on. During the visit it is possible to see true beauty of wildlife alongwith sight of Leopard, Royal Bengal Tiger and so on.

All woodcarvings, statues and architecture in this area are exceptionally fine.

Swoyambhunath: Swoyambhunath is one of the most glorious Buddhist stupa. It is said to be 2000 years old. Swoyambhunath is, perhaps, the best place to observe the religious harmony in Nepal. The stupa is among the most ancient in this part of the world and its worshippers are diverse from Newar nuns, Tibetan monks and Brahman Priests to lay Buddhist and Hindus. Swoyambhunath provides an excellent view of the Kathmandu valley.

Bouddhanth: Boudhhanath stupa is one of the largest Buddhist stupa in the world. The Stupa 100 meters in diameter, was built on an octagonal base inset with prayer wheels by the Lichchivi King Mana Deva in the 15th century. The pinnacle of this stupa represent the stages of enlightenment, symbol of royalty, compassion, knowing and nirvana. There are many myths about the origins of the Stupa. Early morning and evening are the times to visit Bouddha to join the local residents in Kora. There is an enclosure with several monasteries of the different schools of Tibetan Buddhism.
