We don’t really have any fixed itineraries – almost all our guests travel on an itinerary that they have helped us design to their own specifications.
We’ll assist you with suggestions about where to go and where to stay but ultimately it is your safari and the final decision is yours.
To help you get started we can offer you the normal packages with more concentration on photography. As we have guides who are interested in photography too, we can help you to show bests of Bardia. You can choose whether to select one of these itineraries as it is, customize it to your requirements or suggest an entirely different itinerary. Whatever your choice we’ll be happy to prepare a quotation for you.
An early morning 30 km drive by jeep will drop you by the Karnali River. This is followed by a serene day rafting down the gentle Karnali. Drifting down the river allows you to spot wildlife, especially the endangered freshwater Gangetic dolphin, the gharial crocodile, exotic birds and big game on the nearby river banks. Swimming is also possible and sometimes the dolphins may join you!
This essentially dances performed by local Tharu dance troupes and is a highlight of any visit to Forest Hideaway. You will see the colorful dances with traditional costumes and music.
These are aimed at particular habitats or types of wildlife. For example, a popular choice is a Black Buck Antelope Tour or a prolonged three-day deep jungle trek. Please do not hesitate to contact us for any further details or information on what you want to do.
Walking in allows you to explore the rich diversity of the jungle, grasslands and rivers. This is the best way to see wildlife and nature close up. Your guide can give you in-depth information on the habitats you pass through, details of the plant and animal life you encounter and will brief you on general tracking tips.
FROM THE BLOGThis year I had my most amazing jungle safari in Nepal going around Bardia National Park as a part of market research, feasibility study and safari holidays.
