Overview
Chitwan National Park is one of the premier glamour in Nepal. Granted with the UNESCO status in 1984, the reserve protects more than 932 sq km of lavish forests, grassland, and marshland containing sizeable animal populations, making it Asia’s one of the best places for viewing wildlife. This oldest National park offers visitors the chance to experience the exotic-wildlife and natural beauty of Chitwan National Park first-hand.
You will have an excellent chance of spotting single-horned Asiatic rhinos, deer, gharial, peacock, monkeys, and some of the more than 500 species of bird. If you’re lucky, you may spot a sloth bear, leopard, or wild elephant – and quite possibly the exotic royal Bengal tiger, which is the prime attraction.
Undergo jungle safari ride through the sound serenity of Chitwan jungle. Take a nature walk accompanied by a professional naturalist. Enjoy the lovely canoe ride, overlooking the Gharials lazing in the sun. Go for a bumpy elephant ride or explore the countryside and meet the friendly native ethnic group of Tharu people. And of course, enjoy the Tharu Cultural Dance Program and taste the typical local cuisines, which will be another highlight of your trip.
A 30 minutes domestic flight from Kathmandu or an overland journey about six hours drive get you to the Chitwan National Park in southern Nepal, near Nepal- Indian border.
Most trips to Chitwan National Park run from early February till the end of May and from mid-September till mid-December to avoid monsoon rain between mid-June and mid-September. Temperatures vary around 25°C around these months, and animals will move to the river and waterholes to drink, which gives you better chances to spot the Tiger. Weather sometimes gets foggy from mid-December onwards till the end of January.
Activities in the park include a jungle safari, elephant rides or jeep drive, canoe ride, bird watching, accompanied by a naturalist, and Tharu cultural dance program. Nepal’s Chitwan National Park will give you a memorable experience that lasts a lifetime. Ready for discovering Chitwan?
