Best time to visit Bardia for Wildlife safari tour

The ideal time to visit Bardia National Park for a jungle safari is between October and February, when the weather is cooler, and the vegetation is less dense, allowing for better wildlife sightings. December and January are particularly favorable, as animals gather around water sources, increasing the chances of spotting tigers, elephants, rhinoceroses, and various bird species.

Alternatively, March to May offers warmer weather and vibrant jungle scenery with blooming flowers. While the dense vegetation may make wildlife harder to spot, it’s still an excellent time for birdwatching and enjoying the park’s biodiversity. However, the monsoon season from June to September brings heavy rainfall, limiting access and wildlife visibility.

Why Bardia Jungle Safari Tours?

This Tour Package comes with a combo packages including all meals and accommodation along with wilderness safari activities. It is the biggest jungle playground of the Royal Bengal Tiger and you can partake in the definite shot of seeing a tiger in Bardia during mid-year. As per the overview of 2019, Bardia is the home of 87 regal Bengal tigers.

Bardia is located approximately 450 kilometers from Kathmandu, requiring around 12 hours by local bus. Due to its distance from the capital, the region sees fewer tourists throughout the year. We recommend a 3-night, 4-day Bardia Jungle Safari tour package, though tourists are welcome to extend their stay upon request.

For those seeking a shorter jungle safari experience, we suggest considering the Chitwan National Park jungle safari tours. Please note, we do not offer elephant-back safaris out of respect for the animals. For all types of jungle safari tours, trust Gokyo Treks & Expeditions to make your holiday truly unforgettable.

Bardia Jungle Safari Tour Traveler’s Review

The Royal Bengal Tiger

April 17, 2023

Started on a serene wildlife safari expedition in the enchanting landscapes of western Nepal, and it turned out to be an absolutely awe-inspiring experience! Our full-day jeep safari tour was nothing short of incredible, and luck favored us as we encountered a magnificent Royal Bengal Tiger mere meters away from our vehicle, which left us both thrilled and a bit nervous.

Guiding us through this mesmerizing journey was Navaraj, our expert Bardia nature guide, whose easy-going demeanor and profound knowledge made the entire tour an absolute delight. His passion for the wilderness was infectious, and he added a delightful sense of fun to the adventure!

The whole escapade was undoubtedly well worth it, leaving us with unforgettable memories etched in our hearts. Without a doubt, we are already planning our return for yet another extraordinary safari experience!
