A pure unspoilt Nepali national park.
The entire vacation was expertly planned! When providing airport shuttles, Oriental Journeys' communication was excellent. I slept at a family-run hotel in Bardiya. The owner was also one of my guides and gave me all the information I needed about the park and its species. The family made me feel at home, and the cuisine was excellent. I spotted six rhinos, a leopard, and three tigers. Several other lovely species, such the paradise flycatcher, are also present. To all nature enthusiasts who desire to see a pristine, undeveloped Nepali national park, I heartily recommend doing this journey.
Thank you, Jan for your nice compliment. We hope to see you again in the future.
