Rhino Lodge Bardia             People often choose to make a quick trip to Bardia National Park, only to discover that there is plenty to see and do while here. Bardia features a myriad of activities that are all related to the jungles of Western Nepal.             The area south of the Middle Hills (foothills of the Himalayas) is a relatively flat area.

This disease was eradicated over 60 years ago and since them other ethnic groups have moved in.             Bardia National Park retains the unique jungle lands.

Bardia National Park is a unique destination to see Bengal Tigers, Asiatic Elephants, One-horned Rhinoceros, Leopards, Crocodiles, Ganges River Dolphin and more than 400 species of birds. Rhino lodge Bardia has plenty of activities to offer our clients but the most iconic and popular ones are the jeep safari tour and the jungle walk. What's the difference between them? Jungle walks allow sightseers to move in silence and give a much greater chance of viewing animals due to the minimal noise/disturbance we cause. Now in the low season, the vegetation is in full bloom and allows you to connect with nature in all its wildness. A jungle walk in the Bardia National Park with one of our recent guests As well as walking silently, we will also wait and hide behind trees or bushes overlooking the river/watering holes where animals come to drink/refresh, to further increase our chances of viewing wild animals. Our expert guides can design walking tours from three...

The Marsh Mugger Crocodile ( Crocodylus palustris )  is a crocodile of medium to large size with the broadest snout of all the living members of the genus Crocodylus.  In the monsoon season, even though it's the low season in our Lodge and Bardia National Park, it's more than possible to see incredible creatures like this animal; we have expertised guides who are capable of showing you the area and finding the best spots in order to see animals in the wild. In the last few weeks we have seen this specimen  regularly,   close to our lodge and could enjoy and study its movements and behaviour in close proximity. They are more alligator-like than any other crocodile, especially in their rounded snout, as most crocodiles have a snout that is pointier. Like most crocodilians, muggers feature a flat head where their eyes, ears and nose are on top. This enables them to see, hear and breathe above water when their bodies are underwater. They have webbed feet but do n...

The  Ganges River Dolphin  ( Platanista gangetica ) The last week or two we have been having daily sightings of 1-2 dolphins in the river directly behind the Elephant Breeding Centre, just a 5 minute walk from our lodge.

With time and patience you will also see the head and long peak break the surface.
