Bardia National Park is Smaller then Chitawan National Park, but houses the same exotic animals and jungle environment. Daily flights and public buses from Kathamndu to Nepalganj are the access to the park. The park office is situated 20 Km southwest along the Highway. There are lodges and resorts, but as Bardia is more isolated than Chitawan and has fewer visitors they are not numerous. But this also adds to the excitement of exploring this jungle. All resorts are at the border of the park and numerous jungle activities are available. Elephant rides are the best way to explore the jungle and search for wildlife. Jeep safaris are also available, while others might enjoy a jungle walk with an experienced guide who can tell you all about the wildlife and vegetation that is unique to the Terai region.
