Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve can be reached by the East-West High way which runs alongside it.

Activities

Morning / Evening Jungle Walk
The Koshi River flows through part of the Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve. The jungle along the belts of this river is rich in birds and other animals. The river lagoons and wetlands draw deer and water buffaloes as well as birds.

Gentle Wildlife Rafting
River Rafting down the Koshi River is another way of exploring the reserve. View water birds or animals attending to their daily needs. Kingfishers dive into the Koshi River looking for food, marsh muggers or Ghariyal crocodile's sun bathe. Even rare Wild Buffalo Arna and Gangetic River Dolphins can be spotted.

Local Tharu Village Walk
Here Viewing life in the reserve on foot is equally interesting. Tharus live here. They, the early inhabitants of the region, have their unique way of living here. It is untouched by the western world. Their beautifully decorated houses and cultural style are delightful. This local Tharu village is plastic-free. It is one of the few environmentally aware and clean villages in the country.
