Overview
The Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve is situated on the floodplains of the Sapta Koshi River in the southeastern Terai. The reserve was established in 1976 to preserve habitat for the only remaining population of Wild buffalo or Arna. The 176 sq km reserve is Nepal’s smallest. The eastern and western embankments of the Sapta Koshi River ( one of the main tributaries of the Ganges) define the area. In 1987, Koshi Tappu was declared a Ramsar site (a wetland of international significance). The reserve has three distinct seasons. Summer (February through May)when it is intensely hot with minimum precipitation. Shade temperatures can reach 40 c. The monsoon season starts in late May/early June and lasts until September. During this time, there are heavy, frequent rainfalls. The rainfall is greatest during July, but high humidity and temperatures are experienced throughout the season. Winter (October through January) is characterized by clear skies and moderate temperatures, but it can still get quite cold.
