A true hidden gem of Nepal! My visit to Bardiya National Park with Nepal Mountain Lovers was an extraordinary experience. Unlike other crowded parks, Bardiya felt untouched and wild. The jeep safari was an absolute thrill—we spotted rhinos, wild elephants, and even a Bengal tiger! The guides were incredibly knowledgeable, sharing insights about the park’s ecosystem and conservation efforts. If you’re looking for an off-the-beaten-path wildlife adventure, this is the place to be!
