Aqua Birds Unlimited Camp is the First Eco-lodge in Nepal approved by Green Globe Organization. Spread across 10 acres of private pristine wetland, Aqua Birds is located on the border of Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve, which is a Ramsar Site listed by the International Wetland Convention. The hotel offers excellent tented camps with incredible sighting of wetland bird?s congregating in the thousands. This is the last stronghold of the Asian Wild Buffalo and Gangetic Dolphin in Nepal. The reserve lies on the flood plains of the Sapta-Koshi in Saptari and Sunsari Districts of Eastern Nepal. Rapid and complete inundation of the reserve occurs at depths ranging from 10 to 300 cm during the monsoon. The reserve offers important habitat for a variety of wildlife. The last surviving populations (about 100 individuals) of wild buffalo or ?arna? are found here, including other mammals. A total of 280 different species of birds have been recorded. Amidst the jungle environment, Aqua Birds Unlimited Camp and Koshi Tappu Wildlife Camp have come into existence.
