Watching Wildlife in Nepal
In our forest one has to go and look for the animals -
they won't parade themselves in front of us as they do in
National Parks in other countries. In Africa one can watch
the pageant of vast herds of antelope and zebra trekking
past the open bush, family parties of lions disporting
themselves there beside your vehicle. Things are different
here in Nepal - our fauna and its setting is different and
our National Parks have much to offer the visitor. It is
only when one goes through the forest actively looking for
wild animals that their behavior becomes even more
fascinating and your pleasure in these latest finds becomes
heightened . Protected areas in lowland Nepal:
