Officials have reported a rise in both domestic and international visitors to Parsa National Park. Santosh Bhagat, the National Park's Information Officer, noted an increase in Indian tourists alongside domestic ones compared to previous years. Over the first eight months of the current fiscal year, 613 tourists visited Parsa National Park, a stark contrast to the mere 140 visitors during the same period last fiscal year.
To cater to tourists, a community homestay in the Sunakhari buffer zone area offers local cuisine. The park, renowned for its endangered wildlife and natural and religious sites such as Kaminidaha, Halkhoriyadaha, Laukidaha, Mayamandir, and Dugdheshwor Mahadev Mandir, has seen a surge in tiger and animal populations due to the availability of water sources. The tiger census conducted in 2022 reported 41 tigers in Parsa National Park. Recognizing its tourism potential, Parsa Wildlife Reserve was designated a national park in 2074 BS.
