Nepal is a land of
extreme contrasts in climate and geography, It has a
unique topography ranging from lowlands with
sub-tropical jungles to arctic conditions in the
Himalayan highlands.
Within a mere 150 kilometers the land rises from near
sea level in the south to over 8,000 meters in the
North. This, together with the monsoon rainfall along
the south facing slopes, has resulted in compacting
virtually all climate zones found on planet Earth. As a
result, Nepal has been endowed with a great diversity of
life-zones providing a home for a large variety of
plants, birds and animals.
The
Terai lowlands are
defined by a belt of well-watered floodplains stretching
from Th. Indian border northward to the
first slopes of the
Bhabhar and the Siwalik Range. This is the richest
habitat in the land with tall grasslands interspersed
with riverine and hardwood sal forest . Here one can see
wildlife such as the swamp deer, musk deer, black buck,
blue bull, the royal Bengal tiger, gharial and mugger
crocodiles, and the last of a breed of Asiatic wild
buffalo. This area is also rich in birdlike with a
variety of babbles and orioles, koels and drongos,
peacocks and floricans, and a multitude of wintering
wildfowl. There are five protected areas in Nepal-Koshi
Tappu and Parsa in the east, Sukla Phanta and Dhorpatan
for hunting in the west and Shivapuri in the.
mid-mountain region. The Churia, also known as the.
siwalik, is the southern most range of the Himalaya. No
where do they rise above 1,220 meters, This range is
famous for fossil deposits of Pleistocene mammals, among
them 10 species of elephants, 6 rhinoceros,
hippopotamus, saber-toothed cats, various antelopes and
primates such as the orang-utan, long extinct in the
subcontinent, Situated north of the Churia are broad,
low valleys of the inner Terai know as the Doons. These
valleys are not unlike the outer plains with tall
elephant grass, swamps and ox-bow lakes where the last
of the one-homed rhinoceros survive, Royal Chitwan
National Park in the Inner Terai of central Nepal is the
first and best protected area s in the kingdom. Once one
of the most famous big game hunting areas in Asia.
Chitwan now offers protection to a large array of
mammals such as the. one-horned rhinoceros, tiger,
leopard, sloth bear and the gaur (wild bison) as well as
more than 400 species of birds.
Higher in the north between 2,000 and 3,500
meters lies the Mahabharat Range with its oak crowned
crests. The hills of this midland are covered by a moist
temperate forest of deodar, oak, maple and birch in
which are found deer, ghoral serow, leopard and monkey,
The gorgeous multi-colored lmpeyan pheasant (Nepal's
national bird) is also found here with other endangered
birds like the koklas and Cheer Pheasants. Protected
areas in this zone include Khapted National Park in the
Far-West, Dhorpatan Hunting reserve, Northwest of
Pokhara and Shivapuri Wildlife Sanctuary near Kathmandu.
Higher still, nearer the snowline, are the
alpine mountain flanks which are the haunt of snow
leopard, which preys on blue sheep and the. Himalayan
tahr, Rarely seen are the wolf. black and brown bears
and lynx. The Sherpas, Manabga, and Dolpa-bas are some
of those who farm and graze their livestock on the high
mountain pastures. Langtang, Sagarmatha (Everest).
Shey-Phoksundo and Rara National Parks are the protected
high altitude areas of Nepal
Gosainkunda and other lakes in the Langtang
Himal region are of religious significance.. |
