| Koshi Tappu Reserve |
| Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve can claim its
distinct identity for one good reason – the vast expanse of the
Koshi River. Today, with the wild buffalo preserved, the reserve
has also won its niche as birdwatcher's paradise in its true
sense. The reserve to preserve the habitat of the remaining
population of wild buffalo (locally known as Arna in Nepali).
The reserve beckons all sorts of bird species. These birds fly
all the way from Siberia to migrate during the winter season.
The fact that many birds that arrive here are nowhere else seen
in Nepal. Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve is a homeland of
endangered Gharial crocodile, Gangetic dolphin, ducks, herons,
storks, egrets, and ibis and among others. |
