While there, not only will we be able to watch the traditional dances of the Tharu people, but we will also be able to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Bardiya Forest.
Following the meal, we will go on an elephant ride in the jungle for many hours, during which time we will have ample possibilities to observe several species of flora, fauna, and vegetation. This activity will take place after we have finished eating. Aside from the fact that it is a lot of fun, going on an elephant safari is also advantageous since it increases your chances of sighting wild animals. This is because wild animals are less likely to be afraid of you when you are riding on top of their friendly mammoth. In addition to this, we are protected from any potential attacks made by the wild animals because we are riding on the elephant. . If you so choose, you can go for a walking safari in the jungle as well with an experienced jungle guide after the Elephant Safari is over. After completing the Elephant Back ride without incident, we stop for lunch before continuing on to the Crocodile and Elephant Breeding centers. The smaller crocodile and elephant breeding centers in Bardia each have their own modest huts, and most of the stories are told verbally by the people who work at the centers. Our local experts will assist translate their incredible stories so you can better understand them. Towards the evening, we can enjoy and explore the scenic Tharu Village as well.
Following breakfast, we have an hour-long trip to the village of Chisapani, which is situated on the banks of the Karnali River. We begin our wildlife discovery tour aboard a Safari raft, which is a relaxing way to enjoy the rivers and wildlife of western Nepal. Our itinerary includes stops at several different national parks. We will be accompanied by an experienced guide who is ideally suited for navigating the river, which does not have any rapids. During the course of the trip, we will have the opportunity to take in the stunning subtropical landscape as well as the diverse array of species. An unforgettable experience awaits those who venture to the wide Karnali River in hopes of spotting wild creatures as they quench their thirst in the water. If you must know, if we were to float down the Karnali River, we would not be the only ones doing so because the river is home to endangered species such as the Gharial crocodile, marsh mugger, and Gangetic dolphins. In addition, this excursion is ideal for birdwatching due to the fact that the Bardia National Park is home to a sizable population of both permanent residents and seasonal avian visitors
The day ends with a Tharu cultural dance presentation in which you are welcome to participate in and enjoy your last day in Bardiya.
After indulging in a delectable breakfast at the hotel, we will set off on our trek to the Karnali River so that we may once more observe the dolphins in their natural habitat.

The climate of Bardia National Park is considered to be subtropical monsoon because it is found in the Terai area of Nepal. The park has three distinct seasons: summer (March to June), monsoon (July to October), and winter (December to February). Each season lasts approximately three months (October to February). Visitors are welcome to come to Bardia National Area at any time during the year; however, the months of February through July and September through December are considered to be the finest times to explore the park. The months of February through July are the best time to go tiger-spotting since that's when the big cats come out to drink at the watering holes. However, during these months, you are forced to endure the scorching heat of the sun. The months of September through December are the best months to visit if you want to minimize your exposure to the sun.
