The
tropical jungles of the Terai preserve some of
the best wildlife habitat in the subcontinent.
Nepal has 16 national parks, wildlife reserves
and conservation areas, occupying 16 percent of
its total geographical area. Jungle safaris on
elephant back or jeep rides are offered at the
Parsa Wildlife Reserve, Royal Bardia National
Park, Royal Chitwan National Park and the Royal
Shukla Phanta wildlife reserve, all located in
the Terai. The Terai can be stiflingly hot during
summer months and temperate during winters. Summer
months require cool clothes, good walking shoes,
shady hat and sunscreen. Other important items
are mosquito repellant, anti-diarrhea tablets
and anti-histamines. During monsoons one should
carry waterproof jackets and an extra pair of
shoes. The Terai jungles are infested with leeches
during monsoons hence one should carry insect
repellant to keep them away. Salt or a lighted
cigarette will make them fall off. Pulling them
off could infect the wound.
