Things to see in Nepal: Royal Bardia National Park
This remote national park was created in the 1980s in the western Terai, with the aim of protecting Bengal tiger and their prey in an important lowland ecosystem. Later, Indian rhinoceros were introduced from Chitwan, and a large area of surrounding forest and private land was designated as a buffer zone.
Other endangered animals here include Asian elephant, swamp deer, blackbuck, gharial crocodile, marsh mugger and Gangetic river dolphin. Bardia may be hard to reach, but the reward is a real wilderness experience, where elephant safaris will get you well off the beaten track.
