While the high Himalayas makes up Nepal's northern region, the southern flatland known as the Terai is covered with dense tropical jungle. The jungle safari here serves exciting opportunities to view wild animals and birds of unique exposure on elephant-back, by jeep, or on boot or foot. The best season to make our trip remarkable is October-March, since April- June is hot (above 30 degrees Celsius) and July- September is the rainy. The national park (Jungle Safari) listed below offers convenient package tours, which include transport, jungle activities, cultural show, comfortable accommodation and delicious meals.
