The largest untouched wilderness Nepal’s Terai, Bardia National Park protects 968 sq km of forest and grassland and is an ideal environment for wildlife studies. More than 30 different mammals and 200 species of bird (both resident and migratory) have been recorded as well as many of Nepal’s legally protected species, including the One-horned Rhinoceros, Bengal Tiger, spotted deer, the rare Asian Elephant and Gangetic Dolphin. Accommodation is at the comfortable Tiger Tops Karnali Lodge, located on the edge of the Bardia National Park. This extension starts and ends in Kathmandu.
Karnali Lodge has a total of 24 characterful rooms built in a traditional Tharu longhouse style, featuring mud-walls and thatched roofs, with high ceilings and comfortable beds with mosquito nets. The lodge has its own generator to provide electricity and hot water is available around the clock. A central thatched-roof roundhouse houses the restaurant and bar, and a campfire is lit in the evening and early mornings. On clear days, breakfast and lunch are served outside and the level of service provided is exceptional. Western and Nepali dishes are served and there is also a well-stocked bar. Many of the guides employed by the lodge are from the local Tharu community and are passionate about the wildlife and culture of the region. The lodge has excellent relations with neighbouring villages, and a village visit is a great way of learning about life in this remote part of Nepal.

Kathmandu, Nepal’s colourful capital city, sits in a valley in the Himalayan foothills at 1300 metres above sea level. There are actually three cities in the valley, namely Patan, Bhaktapur and Kathmandu itself. Whilst most of clients stay in Kathmandu, if you have the time the exploration of the valley’s historic and cultural sights is an excellent way to begin or end your adventure in Nepal. Valley highlights include the ancient city of Bhaktapur, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for it’s temples and traditional buildings, and Nagarkot on the Kathmandu Valley rim, the perfect place to watch a Himalayan sunset.
After a pre-dawn wake up, you begin this excursion with a drive through the quiet streets of the city and out into the country to Nagarkot, located 32km east of Kathmandu. Perched atop the high ridge forming part of the rim of the Kathmandu Valley, this small settlement is renowned for its breathtaking sunrise views of the Himalayan chain stretching from Anapurna to Everest. Having watched this natural spectacle you return to the valley and visit Bhaktapur a medieval city and World Heritage site that is filled with monuments, exquisite Newari wood carvings, and multi-roofed temples. The centre of Bhaktapur is traffic free and makes for a pleasurable afternoon of exploration as you step back in time. In the late afternoon you transfer back to the group hotel.
