Chitwan National Park Safari Tour - 3 Night 4 Days

Our luxury bus takes us from your hotel after breakfast to your resort in Chitwan National Park. The journey takes around six hours as you make your way out of the Kathmandu Valley and follow along the turbulent Trisuli River. We are heading south to reach the village of Sauhaha, the gateway to Chitwan National Park. We take our lunch here and rest in our rooms or if you want, explore the handicrafts and shops of the village. In the evening, enjoy a traditional Tharu cultural program with the famed stick dance.

Note: There is also direct flight connection between Kathmandu and Chitwan. If you want fly to and from Chitwan.

We rise early at the sounds of the birds singing in the jungle before sunrise. We catch a quick breakfast before going on a jeep safari deep into the jungle. Jeep is the best way to penetrate the jungle as it covers the most territory in a short period of time. The guides know areas where to find the jungle animals. While we may not see a Royal Bengal Tiger (they are elusive), there is an excellent chance of seeing the Indian One-Horned Rhinoceros. There are hundreds of species of birds to see as well as many more jungle animals as we cross cross the park.

We return for lunch and in the afternoon, we take a rafting trip on the Rapti River where we can see the animals coming down to its life-giving waters to drink. We will see two types of crocodiles – the marsh muggar and the endangered gharial. The gharial looks mean with its long snout of sharp teeth, but good news: he doesn’t like you. Instead, he’s a fish eater. After dinner, watch a sunset over the Rapti River and the red rays cast their long shadows over the jungle.

After breakfast, we will visit the elephant breeding grounds where we often can see baby elephants. It is part of the Nepal conservation efforts to increase the wild herds of the region. We will also see a Tharu village. The Tharu's are the traditional people of the Terai region with a very distinct culture.

After breakfast, we leave Chitwan and begin our scenic drive toward Kathmandu. Enjoy the changing landscapes along the way as we travel through the countryside, rivers, hills, and local settlements. Upon arrival in Kathmandu, you will be transferred to your hotel.
Note: You can continue to Kathmandu or other preferred destinations such as Pokhara, Lumbini, or other destinations according to your travel plans.
