Exploration of the Serene Beauty of Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve
We five friends enjoyed visiting Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve this year. We went to Nepal for the Everest Base Camp tour, and later on, we decided to experience extra. We went on an EBC trek with Boundless Adventure, and the same company expanded our package by adding the Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve tour. While visiting the wildlife reserve, we saw various wildlife, including elephants, wild boar, wild buffalo, spotted deer, hog deer, and blue bull. Also, we get to see gharial crocodiles and Gangetic dolphins. The various landscapes, from wetlands to grasslands to riverine forests, made our tour even more unique, creating a fabulous environment. We enjoyed the tour, and thanks to team Boundless Adventure for becoming our best buddy throughout our tour— a highly recommended trekking agency.

A heaven for nature enthusiasts; Koshi Tappu Wildlife reserve
Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve is a must-visit destination for nature enthusiasts in Nepal. After a pleasant time in Nepal, my brother and I returned to my country by taking a package to the Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve through Boundless Adventure. Sightseeing wildlife during the tour was a memory that will last on my mind for a lifetime. The wildlife reserve is the home of numerous flora and fauna, which creates perfect photography options. Boundless Adventure made our overall management, and everything was perfect. For the next visit to Nepal, we are planning for the Chitwan National Park tour with team Boundless.

A Journey into Wildernes
While visiting Online, I found Boundless Adventure and visited their website. While visiting the website, I saw their WhatsApp number and sent them a message. The team immediately responded. I was searching for a tour in nature, and Mr.Dambar suggested many tour plans, among which I chose Koshi Tappu Wildlife for my wife and me. At Koshi Tappu Wildlife, we saw various birds and birdlife species. The flowing river of Koshi Tappu added to the beauty of our tour. It was our first time in Nepal, but not the last one. We will explore Nepal more in the coming days with none other than Boundless Adventure.
