Koshi Tappu
Wildlife Reserve |
Situated in the south east of Nepal, the Koshi
Tappu Wildlife Reserve is a 'twitcher's (bird watcher's)
paradise.
Established in 1996 and covering 175 square km., its numerous
water holes, marshes and grasslands support a vast array of rare
and endangered species of birds - as well as an important
population of Asiatic Buffalo.
The Reserve can be reached overland or by air. By air the flight
takes one hour (Kathmandu to Biratnagar) plus a one hour drive
to the camp. Alternatively, you can follow the main East-West
Highway eastwards from Kathmandu and divert from Jamuwa to the
camp site (which is 2.5 km). |
