Nepal
is a land of extreme contrasts in climate and geography. It
has a unique topography ranging from lowlands with sub-tropical
jungles to arctic conditions in the Himalayan highlands. Within
a mere 150 kilometers, the land rises from near sea level
in the south to over 8,000 meters in the north. This together
with the monsoon rainfall along the south facing slopes has
resulted in compacting virtually all climate zones found on
planet earth. as result , Nepal has been endowed with the
great diversity of life- zones providing a home for a large
variety , birds and animals.
Terai lowland is the richest habitat with the tall grasslands
interspersed with reverie and hardwood sal forest. Here one
can see wild life such as the swamp deer, musk deer, black
buck, blue bull, and the Royal Bengal tiger, Gharial and mugger
crocodiles, and the last breed of Asiatic wild buffalo. This
area is also rich in birdlife with verity of babblers and
orioles, Koles and drongos , peacocks and floricans, and a
multitude of wintering wildfowl.
Once the famous big game hunting areas in Asia , Chitwan National
park now offers protection to a large array of mammals such
as the one- horned rhinoceros, tiger , leopard, sloth bear
and the gaur ( wild bison ) as well as more then 400 species
of birds.
