December belongs to the Terai. Bardia and Shuklaphanta are cool and dry, with fog that clears by late morning, and lodges are quiet outside the Christmas week. Wildlife watching is good for elephants, deer and birds, including migrant waterfowl at Rani Tal and Ghodaghodi Tal, though tigers are less visible than in spring.
