Jungle Safari In Nepal |
Koshi Tappu Wildlife
Reserve
Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve lies on the
flood plains of the Sapta-koshi in Saptari
and Sunsari districts of eastern Nepal. The
Reserve covers 175 sq. kms and was
established in 1976. Rapid and complete
inundation of the reserve to depths ranging
from 10 to 300 cm. occurs during the
monsoon. The Sapta-Koshi river also changes
its course from one season to another. The
vegetation is mainly tall Khar-pater
grassland with a few patches of Khair-sisso,
scrub forest and deciduous mixed riverine
forest. The reserve offers important habitat
for a variety of wildlife. The last
surviving population (about 100 individuals)
of Wild Buffalo or Arna are found here.
Other mammals occurring here are hog deer,
wild deer, spotted deer and blue bull. The
reserve also assists the local economy by
providing fishing permits and allowing the
collection of edible fruits and ferns in
season. A total of 280 different species of
birds have been recorded in the reserve.
These include 20 species of ducks, 2 species
of ibises, many stroks, egrets, herons and
the endangered swamp partridges and Bengal
floricans. The endangered Gharial, Crocodile
and Gangetic dolphin have been recorded in
Koshi river. |
