Paradise World For The Bird Watcher.
Koshi Tappu Wildlife Camp offers many
options and activities to give full
opportunities to view the wildlife at
its best. We offer you regular wildlife
excursions with the trained local
naturalists.
Morning / Evening Jungle Walk
The jungle along the belts of the Koshi
River, part of the Koshi Tappu Wildlife
Reserve is known for its richness in
birds and other animal species. The
river lagoons and wetlands provide
excellent opportunity to sight bird
life, deer and herds of water buffaloes.
Soft Wildlife Rafting
Taking a raft down the Koshi River is
another alternative for exploring the
reserve. Here, you can see the water
birds or animals off to their daily
chores with wonderful sights like
Kingfishers diving down the river
looking for food, the marsh muggers or
the ghariyal crocodiles sun bathing but
of course out of reach. You might be
lucky enough to spot the rare wild
buffaloes. Down the end, at the barrage
Gangetic river dolphins could be your
best view of the day.
Village Walk
This is another interesting activity.
Tharus, the early inhabitants of the
region have their own unique way of
living not affected by the western
influence. Their beautifully decorated
homes and their way of living can be an
interesting part of the tour. The
village is also plastic-free, one of the
few environmentally aware and clean
villages in the country. The Koshi Tappu
Wildlife Camp itself took this
initiative towards environmental
awareness and preservation
Best Time
The best time to visit this fabulous
wildlife reserve is between October to
March when much of the migratory and
local birds can be sighted at the
barrage and many of the river channels.
Numerous Himalayan peaks including the
Makalu I (8,463m) the fifth highest
mountain in the world can be seen during
the clear cooler time of the year.
