the whole of the country. What served as a hunting reserve for the erstwhile rulers of Nepal is today is a
success story in terms of conservation making it one of the finest wildlife experiences in the world. The
park today covers an area of 932 sq. kms and is covered by tall grasslands, interspersed with oxbow
lakes, flood plains and tropical forests making it s prime hunting ground for the Royal Bengal tiger and a
host of other animals prominently the one horned rhino. During the winters it is a joy to watch a host of
migratory birds who find a temporary home in the park.
