Bardiya National Park is Nepal's largest wild area, filled with dedicated nature lovers and wildlife enthusiasts every season. Hundreds of visitors come here each day seeking tigers, rhinos, and untouched forests.

This blog shows you not just the park's raw beauty, but also how to connect those visitor numbers to your business. 

TREND OF TOTAL TOURISTS

Bardiya's tourism has grown strongly over the past 5 years. From 2021 to 2023, the total number of visitors has more than doubled, showing the park's rising popularity.  However, early indications (latest data) point toward decreased tourists in Bardiya National Park.

TREND OF NEPALI TOURISTS 

Nepali visitors are the steady foundation of your business. Their numbers grow reliably every year, providing essential income you can count on.  Nepali tourists don't visit evenly throughout the year. They come in two clear waves, which are your busiest and most profitable times.

TREND OF FOREIGN TOURISTS 

International (Foreign & SAARC) tourists are your biggest opportunity for higher profits. They spend 3 to 5 times more per day than local visitors.

You cannot expect the same amount of money every month. A business plan that assumes steady income will run out of cash in the winter.
