Dawn breaks over a broad floodplain and the Karnali River moves like a restless animal, pushing at sandbars while the forest waits in low, patient green. On a 4‑night, 5‑day Bardia safari, mornings begin with the close, restrained scent of wet earth and the quiet rustle of deer; evenings close around bonfires and a Tharu dance that brings human rhythm into the same wilderness cadence.
