Nepal
is rich in wild life. The tropical jungles of the Terai preserve some
of the best wildlife habitat in Asia. Out of the total geographical
area of Nepal 16% is occupied by national parks, wildlife reserves and
conservation areas. Jungle safari on elephant back is one of the
thrilling experiences. Parsa Wildlife Reserve, Royal Bardia National
Park, Royal Chitwan National Park and the Royal Shukla Phanta wildlife
reserve, offer jungle safari on elephant back or jeep rides. The Terai
region can get rather hot during summer months and temperate during
winters. It is recommended that visitors carry cool clothes, good
walking shoes, shady hat and sunscreen during the summer. The rainy
season brings mosquitos and leeches in the jungles. Mosquito repellant,
anti-diarrhea tablets and anti-histamines can be handy during the
summer and rainy months. |
