Bardiya National Park offers the highest chances to spot a Bengal tiger in Nepal, but not only that. Located in the remote western Terai region, Bardiya National Park houses wild animals such as elephants, rhinoceros, leopards, five species of deer (swamp deer, spotted deer, barking deer, sambar deer, hog deer), sloth bears, langurs, rhesus macaques, jackals, cobras, kraits, and pythons. Also, more than 250 species of birds, including the endangered Bengal florican, sarus crane, and many species of parakeet, hornbill, and woodpecker are found in this national park, making this area of Nepal a hotspot of biodiversity. In addition, the Karnali River, which borders the westside of the park, is home to marsh magar crocodiles, and the endangered Gangetic river dolphins and gharials. The best time to spot tigers and wildlife in Bardiya National Park is between February and May, but also the monsoon season (June to September) is an exciting season to visit the park when large herds of elephants can be seen grazing in the lush and green vegetation.
