Day 01: Arrival & Overnight in Kathmandu
Upon your arrival in the Kathmandu airport (TIA) you will be greeted by a representative from Snow Leopard Trek. After completing your custom formalities (Visa, etc) pick up your luggage and look for our representative with a Snow Leopard Trek display board at the arrival gate. You will be then transferred hotel. After check in, you can take a rest, hang around in the city, visit our office – it all depends upon your interests and condition.
Day 02: Fly to Nepalgunj & Drive to Bardia National Park
We take an hour’s flight from Kathmandu to Nepalgunj in Western Nepal, the nearest airport from the Bardia National Park. Nepalgunj itself is an interesting Terai town of Nepal with influences from both the Nepal hills as well as local Hindu & Muslim cultures. The Bardia National Park is 90 kilometers from Nepalgunj, a 2 hours’ drive. Reaching Bardia, you will be transferred to your resort. There will be a briefing about the program at the National Park. In the evening, village tour to an ethnic Tharu village nearby, believed to be original inhabitants of the local jungle area. Overnight at the National Park.
Day 03: Full Day Activities in Bardia National Park including Jungle Walk
After breakfast we embark for a Jungle Drive deep into the woods. The Bardia jungle is home to a number of wild animals including Asian Elephant, Great One Horn Rhinoceros, Spotted Deer or Chital, Hog Deer, Barking Deer, Samber, Swamp Deer or Barasingha, Nilgai, Black Buck, Wild Boar, Royal Bengal Tiger, Leopard, Golden Jackal, and Striped Hyena, etc. Visit to crocodile breeding center and the Tharu Museum. There are also towers (Machan) at different places where you can wait for the unsuspecting wild-lives to pass by so that you may shoot them (of course with your camera!). Our experienced nature guide would help you in tracking the wild life. Overnight at the National Park.
Day 04: Full Day Activities in Bardia National Park including Jungle Safari & Relax
We have another full day for our wildlife experience. An interesting feature of today’s activities is the elephant safari into the deep & dense jungle. Apart from the fun, another benefit of elephant ride into the jungle is that there is a better chance of seeing wild animals, since the wild animals are less scared when you’re on the top of their mammoth friend. Moreover, riding the elephant also saves you from any potential attacks by the wild animals. The elephants usually head northwest and you may see deer, langur monkeys, rhinos and boar. In the evening, watch the cultural program and Western Nepal Tharu dance organized by the villagers. Overnight at the National Park.
Day 05: Drive to Nepalgunj & Fly to Kathmandu
Today after taking breakfast we drive back to Nepalgunj to catch the flight to Kathmandu. Depending on the flight time, we can spend some time visiting nearby places. Upon arrival in Kathmandu, you will be transferred to Hotel. Share your experience with travel companions, trade emails, and organize the photos. To celebrate the successful completion of your journey, in the evening, there will be a welcome dinner hosted by Snow Leopard Trek. For dinner, you will be served excellent authentic Nepalese cuisine which will introduce you to the Nepalese food culture.
