Sukla Phant Wildlife Reserve Tour
|
|
 |
|
This wildlife reserve is situated in the extreme
south-west of Nepal. The name of the park is derived
from the largest of these grasslands which is known as
Sukla Phanta. The park area is 155 sq kms and would be
305 sq kms after the completion of its extension. Sukla
Phanta's grassland is one of the last remaining habitats
for such threatened animals as the hispid hare and the
pygmy hog. Besides these, Sukla Phanta is the stronghold
for another endangered animal, the barasingha, or swamp
deer.
Other wildlife of the park included spotted deer, also
seen in large numbers, hog deer, nilgai, wild dog,
jackal, porcupine and otter. The park and the adjoining
forest is the territory of small number of tigers which
because of open terrain are not uncommon to sight on the
prowl. Wild elephants have also been sighted in the
park.
A stop at the Rani Tal would be an exciting experience.
This small lake attracts birds and animals alike.
Herons, ducks, storks, kingfishers and egrets vie for
food and swamp deer wallow at the edges. From a nearby
machan one can watch while thousands of water fowl
mingle on the lake surface while it is not uncommon to
see hundreds of swamp deer grazing at the water-edge in
the evening light. The experience is unique.
Other ways to view wildlife in the park is by driving in
land rovers near the lake and river and on nature walks
with trained trackers. |
