Wildlife safaris in Nepal
India and Nepal hold the world's largest populations of wild tigers and greater one-horned rhinoceros. Parks run on fixed seasons, zone quotas and permits released weeks or months ahead, so the planning matters as much as the luck.
We pair each park with a lodge whose naturalists we know, and we plan at least four drives per park. Monsoon closures, zone rotation and permit rules change each year: check current status before you travel.
