Viewing Wilidlife:

Trained naturalists and shikaris (field guides) escort guests on each safari. This enhances the experience of the extraordinarily varied wildlife and birdlife. Trips are planned to highlight each feature of the park. This includes game viewing on elephant back, dugout canoe excursions, jungle drives. Also available are butterfly / orchid / bird tours, nature walks, and tree top observations. Additionally there are cultural tours, slide presentations and folk dances.

Getting There:

Flight - A 15 minute flight from Kathmandu to Bharatpur airport and a 40 minute drive to Gaida Wildlife Camp.

Road - A scenic and enjoyable access is by road. The four hour drive along the banks of the Trishuli river is delightful. It goes past terraced fields, small villages, people of diverse ethnic origins.

Raft - A raft trip of varying lengths on the Gandaki, Trishuli or Narayani rivers. Met by Gaida representatives visitors reach Gaida Wildlife Camp after a short drive.

What to Bring - Camera, sunblock, sunhat, sunglasses, mosquito repellant, and warm clothing (Nov to Feb). Bring also a flashlight (torch). Cool cotton clothing of neutral color (to match the jungle) is recommended. No scented perfumes should be worn inside the park. Long sleeves and trousers are necessary for elephant back safaris.

Accomodation

There are 32 twin-sharing bungalows built in a semi circle around a central dining restaurant. Each has a sweeping view of the river & the grasslands. All rooms have standard but comfortable furnishings and a spacious balcony. They have attached toilet and solar heated water shower. An outdoor garden and a well stocked bar provide a comfortable atmosphere to relax. The surrounding jungle can be enjoyed from here, even the white Himalayas on clear days.

Gaida Wildlife Camp does not have electricity in rooms. This maintains the jungle atmosphere and balance with wildlife. Candles and kerosene lanterns are placed at doors at nightfall. A generator is switched on every evening to allow cameras to be charged.
