Bardiya-Banke National Parks, Nepal

In the heart of Nepal’s Terai, where golden grasslands meet shadowed forests, lie the wild sanctuaries of Bardiya and Banke National Parks. Here, the roar of the royal Bengal tiger echoes through the trees, and the mighty one-horned rhino treads ancient paths. These parks, spanning over 1,500 square kilometers, are lifelines for endangered species and vital corridors in the Western Terai Complex.
