National Parks located specially in the terai region in Nepal attract visitors
from all over the world. A visit to these parks involves game stalking by a
variety of means foots, dugout canoe, jeep, elephant back. One is bound to sight
a one horned Rhino or two at every elephant safari. Besides the Rhinos,
wild boars, samburs, spotted deer, sloth bear, four horned antelope, royal
Bengal
tiger are also usually seen. Nature walk or jungle walk is another way of
experiencing the wilderness. In fact, jungle walk gives close up opportunities
to view animals as well as observe their tracks, signs and sounds. Early morning
and late-afternoon walk is the best to avoid mid day heat.
Dugout-canoe trips down the Rapti river offer views of water birds like
brilliant
blue Eurasian kingfisher, egrets, osprey and ruddy sheldrakes. a pair of
binoculars is a must for bird watching. A jeep safari through the jungle
provides more game spotting opportunities than might be expected otherwise
because it goes deeper into jungle, usually beyond the beaten track.
