Visit Sagarmatha National Park (Nepal) for Adventurous Jungle Safari

The rampant use of land for building houses and expanding cities has a despicable effect on the ecosystem and the balance on which the world rests, is being tampered with because of the recklessness of man. Animals are getting extinct at a steady rate and trees and plants are also getting affected. These days the best place where you can get to see some birds and animals is either Discovery channel or Animal Planet. If you want to get a closer view then you have the option of visiting the local zoo. The biggest disappointment about visiting a zoo is that the animals of the zoo are incarcerated and in most zoos the enclosures are quite small. Of course you have the option of going for a jungle safari to Africa or the USA, but why would you do that when you can go to Nepal and be a part of a jungle safari at not even half the rate at what it would cost you to go to either of the afore mentioned countries. If you are hesitating because you feel that you would not be able to see many animals then you are absolutely wrong. The Sagarmatha National Park that is present in the eastern part of Nepal and has the southern half of the Himalayan range is one of the most beautiful national parks in the world. The Sagarmatha National park is spread over an area of 1148 sq. kms.
