Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve
Established in 1976, Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve is 175 square kilometres of wildlife refuge and wetlands habitat. It is located in Eastern Nepal and can be accessed from the Mahindra Highway. It comprises extensive mudflats, reed beds, and freshwater marshes in the floodplain of the Sapta Kosi River, and ranges in altitude from 75 to 81 m (246 to 266 ft.). It was established in 1976 and designated as a Ramsar site in December 1987. In additional to wildlife, the Reserve also protects a substantial part of the Sapta Koshi, (a tributary of the Ganges River) flood plain. In 1987, it was declared a Ramsar site.
The reserve is also home to the water buffalo (called arna), deer, nilgai, mugger crocodile, Ganges River Dolphin (also called the Gangetic Dolphin), and over 280 species of birds.
