Best suggestion to visit
- Koshi Tappu has to offer a great deal to its visitors. Birds watching is prefarably the best in Asia which supports in our motivation and imagining birds which migrate all from the places far from here. Besides wild buffalo that is found in kosi tappu has its origin just in this place.
- Other pleural activities are considered the best time vacation in and out of country.
- Always wear dull colors while on a safari so that you do not attract any unwanted attention. This will help you camouflage into your surroundings; hence, colors such as black, brown, gray, and tans are much better than bright colors such as red, yellow, and so on.
- Since it is hot in koshi tappu, you should bring plenty of drinking water.
- Indeed, you are in the middle of the dense forest; you will have several bushes and insects lurking around. Therefore, wearing comfortable shoes that cover your foot well and clothes that protect you is necessary.
- Sunscreen is the most important when the sun is boiling high right there.
- If you have the safari experience in winter, it is best to wear layers to keep you warm. Likewise, if you are out for the experience during monsoon, you must take a reliable raincoat with you.
- Moving on, you should always be prepared for rashes and bites. Always carry a repellent and a natural bug spray.
- An experience like this should be captured at the moment. Make sure you have a camera with a good lens and a binocular so you can zoom in to look into your background.
- If you are on for the adventure, always ensure you have plenty of cash, as sometimes the ATMs charge you extra for the withdrawal.
