Bardiya National Park is a protected area in Nepal that was established in 1988 as Royal Bardia National Park. Covering an area of 968 km² it is the largest and most undisturbed national park in Nepal's Terai, adjoining the eastern bank of the Karnali River and bisected by the Babai River in the Bardiya District. Its northern limits are demarcated by the crest of the Siwalik Hills.
The Nepalgunj-Surkhet highway partly forms the southern boundary, but seriously disrupts the protected area. Natural boundaries to human settlements are formed in the west by the Geruwa, a branch of the Karnali River, and in the southeast by the Babai River.
Best time to Visit Bardia National Park.
The best time to visit Bardia National Park and Shuklaphanta Wildlife Reserve is from mid-September to mid-December and from the start of February till the end of May. During these months day temperatures vary between 25 to 37 degrees and animals will move to the river to drink which gives you better chances to spot them.
From mid-December onwards, till the end of January, it can be more chilly and sometimes we have foggy weather. The monsoon brings hot and sticky days and starts in June and lasts till the end of August. The rising river levels can make access to the park difficult.
