Who this is for
Quieter west Terai park — tiger country odds better than Chitwan, longer transfer. Typically three to four days.
Bardia National Park is the quieter alternative to Chitwan: longer road from Pokhara or Kathmandu, fewer jeeps, stronger tiger habitat reputation. Still no guarantees. Typical package is three to four days; we hold four with lodge nights and guided jeep / walking safaris as quoted.

Jeep and walking as the package lists.

Difficulty and altitude
Bardia Jungle Safari is a Easy walk of 4 days, with a high point around 300 m. We pace for acclimatisation, not a brochure summit morning.
Best time to go
Typical season: October–May. October–November and March–April are the classic Himalayan windows. We close or reroute when cloud and rain make the view a fiction.
Permits and what is included
Annapurna routes include ACAP and usually TIMS, processed in Pokhara. Restricted valleys (Mustang, Manaslu, Tsum, Nar Phu) add a RAP filed through immigration. The quote lists permit days; there is no surprise at the checkpoint.
