Anyone who finds wildlife captivating will be thrilled to spend two or three days ‘on safari’ in Nepal’s premier national park.

Chitwan National Park (CNP) [SAFARI]

Here you can ride on an elephant (and then help to bath him in the river afterwards!), see the seriously endangered one-horned rhino and perhaps a Royal Bengal tiger also, as well as taking a canoe trip to see garial crocodiles or going on an early morning birdwatching walk to spot some of the 420 species of avian life that have been recorded here.

Chitwan has a sub-tropical, lowland jungle landscape and takes five hours to reach by road from Kathmandu (or a 25-minute flight).

Most of our jungle itineraries include a stay at one of the six lodges within the park, in a double ‘thatched cottage’ style room. Typically your stay would be for two nights/three days and all your activities and nature tours are conducted by resident professional guides and naturalists.

A visit to Chitwan will give you an insight into a very different natural and cultural setting, compared to the soaring mountain peaks or the bustle of Kathmandu. A trip here blends in well into a varied itinerary tour, combined perhaps with rafting and/or treks in the Annapurna region.
