Best time to visit Chitwan and Bardiya National Park

- Late December to January: Chitwan & Bardiya experience mild and dry weather with low humidity, creating a comfortable condition for outdoor activities and wildlife safaris.
- February to April: As the dry season begins, the vegetation begins to thin out, enhancing visibility. The warm temperature also makes the animals visit waterholes, thus increasing better chances of animal sightings.
