Why Visit Banke National Park
Banke National Park in Banke and Salyan districts buffers Bardia National Park. The park is part of the Terai Arc Landscape — one of the world's most significant wildlife corridors connecting Nepal's Terai parks. Bengal tigers, one-horned rhinos, and gharials inhabit the park. Almost no international tourist visits.
Best Time to Visit
The best time to visit Banke National Park is October–March.
Difficulty & What to Expect
This is an Easy destination to visit. Banke is accessed from Nepalgunj. The extreme lack of tourist infrastructure is both the challenge and the appeal — a genuinely wild safari experience with a local guide is extraordinary here.
Who It's Best For
Banke National Park suits conservation travellers, true wilderness seekers, and Bardia extension trips.
