Why go
The park is valuable for its lowland habitats and conservation history as much as for the chance of seeing wildlife. Read the Rapti and Narayani river landscape alongside grassland and forest, then arrange an appropriate park visit through an authorised local operator or park channel. Wildlife sightings cannot be promised.
What to look for
- River systems and floodplain grasslands shape the park's lowland habitat.
- Forest and the Churia foothills add a second landscape beyond the river edge.
- The park's protected status followed a period of heavy hunting and habitat loss.
Useful to know
- Check the park's current entry arrangements and permitted activities before choosing an excursion.
- Allow time for the Terai's different heat and weather exposure when planning outdoor hours.
