Bardiya National Park Jungle Safari with Kathmandu Tour Overview
Bardia National Park, which spans 374 square miles, is Nepal’s largest and most protected national park. Another uncharted or undiscovered area is this national park. As a result, there is a smaller crowd than in other national parks.

During this tour, you will visit the Tharu Museum and examine the various artifacts kept there. Some of the most frequent creatures you may see are wild elephants, crocodiles, dolphins, royal Bengal tigers, one-horned rhinoceroses, monkeys, and other reptiles.
The Kathmandu Day Tour includes visits to the well-known UNESCO World Heritage Cultural Sites in the Kathmandu Valley. This city trip will take you on the most exciting journey imaginable, passing through famous historical sites throughout the world.
Places like Hanuman Dhoka Square offer a deeper look into the history of the area, and if you’d rather be in a more tranquil setting, the neighborhood is home to an incredible number of peaceful temples.
You will travel to one of the picturesque villages, Nagarkot, even though there are several places to explore, such as Shivapuri Nagarjun National Park, Champadevi, and Chandragiri. You may also take in the Kathmandu Valley’s major festivals if you plan your time and itinerary well.

I cannot speak highly enough about Best Treks and Adventure and the Annapurna Base Camp trek they organized for me and my friends. From the initial planning to the final farewell, everything was seamless. Our guide, Bishnu, was fantastic—his expertise and sense of humor made the trek so much more enjoyable. The trail itself was stunning, with diverse landscapes and amazing mountain views. The team ensured we were well-fed, safe, and motivated throughout the journey. This was hands down one of the best adventures of my life. I’ll definitely be trekking with them again!

Our guide, Dinesh, was outstanding—he shared fascinating stories about the local culture and ensured we were acclimatized and comfortable every step of the way. The views along the trail were spectacular, and the sense of accomplishment upon reaching Base Camp was overwhelming. This trek wouldn’t have been the same without such an incredible team. Thank you for the memories of a lifetime!
