The park covers a total area of 968 sq. km and the altitude ranges from 80-150 meters above sea level. The park is boarded by the rapids of the mighty Karnali River and bisected by the Babai River. On the northern side, its boundary is set by the hills of the Churia range. The area is covered by alluvial grassland and subtropical moist deciduous forests.
