Although the number of foreign tourists visiting the park has decreased slightly after the Covid pandemic, the number has been increasing in recent years. 'This park, which is the largest grassland in Nepal, is home to various plants, from leopards, deer and rare wildlife. Domestic and foreign tourists come here to study and observe the area with natural beauty and biodiversity,' Wagl said.

Kanchanpur Chamber of Commerce and Industry President Dinesh Malla said that Shuklaphanta National Park is a favorite among tourists because of its large grasslands and the ability to observe many rare wildlife species in a small area. 'By promoting Shuklaphanta, a significant number of tourists can be attracted here. There has not been extensive publicity about the biodiversity here. Now everyone should cooperate in the promotion,' he said.
Shuklaphanta National Park, spread over an area of 305 square kilometers, is famous for its bison. There are more than 2,323 bison in the park.
