Best time to visit Bardiya National Park for Safari
The ideal time to visit Bardiya National Park for a safari is between October and April, when dry weather and open landscapes create perfect conditions for observing wildlife.
During these months, vegetation is sparser, water sources are fewer, and animals tend to gather near rivers and grasslands, boosting the likelihood of sightings. This season is perfect for jeep safaris, walking safaris, birdwatching, and river activities.
December to February is winter, with cooler mornings and evenings; this period offers great opportunities to see migratory birds and large mammals, though early-morning safaris may be chilly.
March to April is the prime time for tiger sightings, as rising temperatures lead animals to visit waterholes more often.
Overall, visiting Bardiya National Park from October to April provides optimal safari conditions, with spring months offering the best chances for encountering large wildlife, making it an excellent choice for an unforgettable jungle safari in western Nepal.

Is Bardiya National Park Better than Chitwan National Park?
Bardiya National Park and Chitwan National Park are two of Nepal’s most popular wildlife destinations. Bardiya is bigger, less visited, and more remote than Chitwan, ideal for those seeking a quieter, more immersive jungle adventure.
Its expansive core zones increase your chances of seeing majestic Royal Bengal tigers, graceful wild elephants, elusive leopards, and one-horned rhinoceroses, often in peaceful solitude away from the usual crowds of Chitwan.
Chitwan is more developed and tourist-friendly, providing well-facilitated accommodations, & cultural activities. It is ideal for first-time visitors, families, and those with limited time, since most wildlife can be observed in half- or full-day safaris. Nonetheless, spotting tigers in the Chitwan Tour Package is more challenging because of the higher tourist activity in the central zones.
In summary, passionate wildlife lovers, photographers, and adventure seekers typically favour Bardiya National Park. At the same time, Chitwan is popular for its ease of access, convenience, and wide range of tourist facilities.
