 Nepal
is a land of extreme contrasts in climate and
geography. It has a unique topographyranging 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 of a 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 one if the most 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.
