Nepal, within its territory has a lot to
offer to her valuable guests. There are
lots of destinations one can explore,
among them few of the destinations are
famous globally while few others though
have potentiality have been gone unheard
due to lack of enough publicity. Most of
the destinations of the Mid and Far
Western regions, in spite of being a
paradise of nature, culture and
adventure is still in its wilderness.
Yet! not exploited, among them is Rara
National Park, Royal Bardiya National
Park & Royal Shuklaphanta Wildlife
Reserve. All these three destinations
have their own importance. Late King
Mahendra had even written a poem on the
pristine Rara Lake describing its scenic
beauty.
With the objective to promote tourism in
mid western region and far western
region, and observing the interest of
tourist visiting there, we have come up
with the concept of Experience Wild West
Triangle; the special promotional
package offering visit to Rara Lake,
Royal Bardiya National Park and Royal
Shuklaphanta Wild Life Reserve.
Royal Shuklaphanta Wildlife Reserve with
the area of 175 sq. km was established
in 1976. It is situated in the southern
part of Far-Western Nepal in the
Kanchanpur District and features
predominant sal associated with arna,
semal, karma, khair and sissoo are found
along the riverside. The main grass
species are the Imperate Cylindrica and
the Saccharum Heteropogon, used
extensively by the local people for
thatching.
