Chitwan National Park is one of the most popular wildlife safari destinations in Nepal. Located in the plains of the Terai in the southern part of the country, this national park is known for its abundance of wild animals, including some endangered species such as one-horned rhinos and royal Bengal tigers.
Join us on this 3-day trip to the national park and get to enjoy the best of Nepal's rich biodiversity. The national park came into existence in 1973. In 1984, UNESCO designated it a world heritage site. This wildlife reserve is home to 56 species of mammals, including endangered one-horned rhinos and royal Bengal tigers, 543 species of birds, 126 species of fish, 590 species of butterflies and 47 species of reptiles.
You will take a comfortable tourist bus from Kathmandu to Chitwan on the first day of the trip. The next two days, you will be occupied in jungle safaris, nature walks, bird watching, local boat rides, and a traditional performance by the Tharus, an ethnic group indigenous to the southern plains of the country.
The best time to visit the national park is from March to May and from September to December. Head for the bus station on the last day of the tour and catch the bus to Kathmandu. For more details, please go through the itinerary below.
Synonymous to some of the most rewarding and stimulating wildlife activities, Chitwan National Park is located at the central Terai. The park is approximately 1,000 sq. km. of sub-tropical lowland jungle, five hours by road from Kathmandu or a 25 minute flight. It is home to a multitude of wild animals including the Royal Bengal tiger and the endangered one horn Rhinoceros native to Nepal of which there are less than 1,500 surviving. There have also been more than 420 species of birds recorded inside the park.
Our jungle itinerary include a stay at a lodge within the Chitwan National Park of which there are only six unique lodges available. The accommodation is in double thatched cottage style rooms. Activities include elephant safaris, canoeing, bird watching and nature tours conducted by resident professional guides and naturalists - you are up for a treat!
A visit to Chitwan provides you with the opportunity to fully experience the contrasts of Nepal. It offers an insight into a very different natural and cultural setting compared to the more familiar visions of the Kingdom.
Our clients often choose to continue the trip from Royal Chitwan to Lumbini, the birth place of the Buddha, an important pilgrimage site. Others proceed directly to the beautiful lakeside town of Pokhara with arguably the most famous mountain backdrop anywhere in the world. We can arrange you to go to any of these two destinations, or even a third, upon ending you stay here at Chitwan.
We look forward to welcoming you to one of our great jungles in Nepal, and provide you with great nature and wildlife experiences, and a comfortable accommodation.

Our trip went very well thanks especially to our guide BK who was very kind and helpful during her time with us. Also the local guides were very good and our crew led by Ram. Excellent food on the trip the campsites were in spectacular positions and the other night stops were good. We only had one complaint with a driver who wouldn't come and meet us when we were finishing the trek and we were walking on a dangerous road for 5km. We did suggest that in future treks if the only way down was the road then the trek should stop at the lunch point

Our guide, Sudarshan kc, was the best guide I've had on any Explore trip I've done (4, so far). He was really knowledgeable, gentle, warm, funny, & friendly, he looked after our group fantastically. Nothing was too much trouble, his recurrent phrase was 'anything is possible'. The tour itself was brilliant & flowed really well, despite the longer road journeys due to the landslides that had occurred a few wks before. In fact, I'd go as far to say those journeys were actually quite an adventure in themselves! For me, it was a perfect trip, the 4 days trekking were amazing, challenging at times, but worth the effort to see the stunning views of the mountains. The teahouses were simple but really welcoming, & in fab locations for views. Pokhara was a beautiful place for a bit of a rest, the calm lake, great shopping, & places to eat. Chitwan was outstanding, especially with the rhino sightings, & close encounters!
I was lucky to have a great group of people to travel with too, which made the trip a lot of fun.
Kathmandu is exactly what you'd expect, a city full of life, bustling traffic & historic sights. People are very warm & friendly.
I'd recommend this trip wholeheartedly.
I wanted to stay longer, & shed tears when I left. Many thanks.
