Harnawa-Bardia

After lunch at Chisapani, we headed to Harnawa, one of the five buffer zones, community forest of Bardia National Park. Buffer zone surrounds Bardia National park and is created to preserve the natural resources and for the conservation of wildlife. Buffer zone covers around 327 km of forests and private surrounding lands, Harwana is one of them. Harnawa is a beautiful small village surrounded by forest, 5km off the main highway. We were welcomed by Yamkala's (Rajya aunty's ex-student) mom dad, soda came first followed by fresh buffalo milk, they had two of them. Although mid-winter, the place was pretty warm and it was a sunny day. I absolutely loved the place, everything about it.
