Highlights of Koshi Tappu Wildlife Tour
- Best spot for bird watching in Nepal
- A total of 280 different species of birds have been recorded in the reserve.
- Habitat of wild buffaloes, hog deer, wild boar, spotted deer jackals, and Gangetic Dolphin
- Boating/Rafting on Sapta Koshi River
- Jeep Safari
The park contains an ideal mix of rivers, ponds, wetlands, and paddies, all of it cut by a long straight, and paved trail, making navigation a breeze. Thin foliage further allows for long-distance viewing. In a single 90min, 6km walk you will see scores of different bird species. It’s the terrestrial equivalent of spotting tropical fish on a coral reef.
A bonus is branching off to the nearby Sapt Kosi River, where the endangered Arana roams their last habitat. The renowned kind of water buffalo is abundant in the area. The enormous breadth of their horns and their move-in herds are more attractive to observe.
