Bardiya National Park in Nepal experienced a slight decrease in tourist arrivals during the last fiscal year. Park officials attribute this downturn to a combination of factors, including domestic protests within Nepal and the ongoing conflict in West Asia. Despite these challenges, the national park remains open and continues to offer year-round jeep safaris for visitors. The decline suggests a broader impact of global events on Nepal’s tourism sector. While not a dramatic drop, the reduced numbers are a concern for the local economy that relies on tourism revenue. Authorities are monitoring the situation and hoping for a rebound as conditions stabilize both domestically and internationally. The park’s continued operation demonstrates a commitment to accessibility despite external pressures.
