Royal Bardia
National Park
The Royal Bardia National
Park, situated in the mid-far Western region, is the largest and most
unspoiled wilderness area in the Terai, covering an area of 968sq.km. The
park, a sub-tropical jungle, is thickly forested by sal trees and carpeted
with grass, savannah and riverine vegetation. The north is bordered by the
Churia hill range, the west by the Karnali river, while the Babai river
cuts its course almost through the middle of the park. On the southern
fringe of the park are the villages of the unique and indigenous Tharu
people of Western Nepal. Considered as one of the most picturesque
national parks in Asia, it teems with rich and diverse flora and fauna.
The park is home to more
than 30 different mammals, including the langur and rhesus monkeys,
civets, hyenas, wild dogs, sloth bears, otters, blue bulls, deer and wild
boars. It is a regenerated habitat for endangered animals like the tiger,
rhinoceros, wild elephant ( the park harbours the biggest wild tusker in
Asia) and black buck, Gharial and marsh mugger crocodiles the great game
fish-masher and the Gangetic dolphin cavort in the river waters. The
unique birds which number over 350 species include cormorants, egret,
storks, geese, jungle fowls, king-fishers and endangered species such as
the Bengal florican, silver-eared mesia and the saurus crane thus making
the park truly a bird watchers paradise.
