Wild
life and Jungle Safari
No
trip to Nepal is complete without visiting one of the various wildlife
sanctuaries. These wildlife reserves located in the flood plains of the
country attract visitors from all over the world. It is quite amazing
to see that the country holds such diversity in a small area. The magnificence
of the towering mountains is matched by the abundance of wildlife in the
tiny kingdom. One moment you are in a French Alps type of environment
and within minutes you are in the middle of tropical forests teeming with
wildlife. A foray into the deep jungles of the terai is stepping into
the domain of the Royal Bengal tiger, or Sher Khan made famous by Rudyard
Kipling in his ever popular 'Jungle Book". So you can step into the
shoes of Mowgli to match his escapades and relive the adventure.
The various parks
scattered around the country offer a unique opportunity to view a variety
of animals from close quarters. Several resort that boast comfortable
accommodation and delectable cuisine dot the parks. Manned by trained
personnel they provide various wildlife activities like safaris on elephant
backs, walks thorough the jungle, canoe trips that take you deep into
the jungle, beyond the beaten tracks. The anticipation of encountering
a rhino or a tiger face to face or listening to the sights and sounds
of the jungle gives you a high beyond comprehension. Apart from animals
the culture and lifestyle of the tharus, the local indigenous people of
the terai, offer a unique cultural experience.
