Bardiya National Park is a protected area in Nepal that was established in 1988 as Royal Bardia National Park. Covering an area of 968 km2 (374 sq mi) it is the largest and most undisturbed wilderness area in Nepal's Terai, adjoining the eastern bank of the Karnali River in the Bardiya District.
The northern limits of the protected area are demarcated by the crest of the Siwalik Hills. The Nepalgunj-Surkhet highway partly forms the southern boundary, but seriously disrupts the protected area. Natural boundaries to human settlements are formed in the west by the Geruwa, a branch of the Karnali River, and in the southeast by the Babai River.
All rooms have private bathrooms with shower and toilet, hot water and a mosquito net. The prices are affordable for all budgets. There are two kinds of cottages:

The team is composed of experienced, passionate and friendly English and French-speaking guides, who make sure that you will enjoy an unforgettable stay.
