Narayani Zone - Miscellaneous

Miscellaneous

Narayani hosts Nepal's oldest and most famous national park: Chitwan (932 km²), considered to be one of Asia's richest nature reserves, renowned for its Bengal tigers and the Indian white Rhinoceros. To the southeast the park is complemented by the Parsa Wildlife reserve with another 499 km².

Narayani is one of the few zones that has been left relatively untouched by Maoist insurgency up to now. It is one of the relatively prosperous zones of Nepal with a vibrant trading market with India whose effect can be easily seen in the border town of Birgunj. Birgunj is the capital of this zone.
