Location and Description

This tropical and subtropical grasslands, savannas, and shrublands biome stretches from western Bhutan to southern Nepal's Terai, westward to Banke, covering the Dang and Deukhuri Valleys along the Rapti River to India's Bhabhar and Doon Valleys. Each end crosses the border into India's states of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. The eastern and central areas are wetter than the western end.

In Nepal, the wetlands of Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve, Beeshazar Tal in the bufferzone of Chitwan National Park, Jagdishpur Reservoir and Ghodaghodi Tal are designated Ramsar sites. The Sukla Phanta Wildlife Reserve is Nepal's largest patch of continuous grassland.
