The Koshi Island wild life reserve is inside a big Island of Koshi River, which is the store of the wild water buffalo (called Arna) in Nepal. The reserve is a wetland of international significance. In 1987, it was declared a Ramsar site. It is home to more than 280 bird species including 20 duck species, 2 species of ibises, many storks, egrets and herons. The endangered swamp partridge and Bengal florican are found here. The Koshi Barge is an extremely important resting-place for migratory birds.

The last surviving population of wild buffalo, or arna, is found here. The reserve is also home to many types of mammals, such as hog deer, spotted deer, wild boar, and blue bull. The endangered Gharial crocodile and Gangetic dolphin have been recorded in the Koshi River.

The vegetation mainly includes tall khar-pater grasslands, with a few patches of khair-sissoo scrub forest, and deciduous mixed riverine forest.

During the monsoon, the reserve is flooded with depths ranging from 10 to 300 cm (4 to 120 in). From season to season, the Sapta-Koshi River changes its course.
