Nepal dolphin watching vacation

Planet

Bardiya National Park is one of Nepal’s most important wild areas. Please follow the rules and never leave your group. Don’t leave food open or drop food on the ground, as this can attract wild animals. If you spot a bird or animal, keep quiet and don’t try to attract its attention.

Please avoid single-use plastic, including plastic bags, travel toiletry kits, wipes and snack wrappers, and decline plastic bags when shopping. Bring a reusable bottle to refill, and we treat refilled water with purification tablets.

We encourage you to eat vegetarian and fresh local food, much of which comes from the families who run your hotels and restaurants.

People

We employ guides and drivers who were born and raised in Nepal. We provide insurance, a salary, annual training, and a language course. We encourage guides to learn languages beyond English.

We stay in locally run hotels. We recommend buying locally grown food and souvenirs from locally owned handicraft shops. On the way, we visit a workshop that employs and trains women, where you can buy bags, toys, clothes, scarves, and prints.

Greet people when you enter a home or building, have a chat, learn a bit of Nepali, and teach a few words of your own language.
