About Biratnagar

This Terai gateway city sprawls across flat plains where jungle once dominated—the landscape flattens dramatically after the foothills, becoming a patchwork of agriculture, bamboo groves, and wetlands. Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve nearby hosts endangered wild water buffalo and migratory birds in wetland ecosystems.
