You step off the short flight into Biratnagar as the plains unfurl: a tangle of reedbeds, braided channels and low scrub where the Sapta Koshi moves like a story being rewritten each season. By late afternoon the reserve’s marshes hold a hush pierced by calls—stilted silhouettes on sandbars, the hiss of water buffalo in thigh-deep mud, and something finning just beneath the surface.
easy.
3 days.
Suitable for most travelers who can walk short distances and board boats; expect early starts and uneven marsh tracks.
The itinerary uses a short domestic flight to Biratnagar followed by about a 1-hour transfer to the reserve; return follows the same route.
Dolphin sightings are possible but not guaranteed; sightings depend on river conditions and time of year—early morning boat trips improve chances.
Accommodation is in safari-style tents on twin-share basis (single rooms available)—facilities are basic but comfortable and oriented to wildlife viewing.
The program is described as suitable for most fitness levels but involves boat boarding and some uneven walking; discuss specific mobility needs with the operator when booking.
The reserve protects a dynamic floodplain shaped by the Sapta Koshi; its wetlands have long supported local fishing and seasonal agriculture alongside rich birdlife.
Visitors are asked to follow low-impact practices: keep to guides’ routes, avoid disturbing sandbar nesting areas, and minimize plastic waste to protect the riverine ecosystem.
