Koshi
Tappu Wild Life 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). |
