Royal
Chitwan National Park is synonymous with
some of the most rewarding and stimulating
wildlife activities in Nepal. 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.
Most
of our jungle itineraries include a stay
at a lodge within the park of which there
are only six. The accommodation is normally
in double thatch cottage style rooms. A
typical package is based on a two night
/ three days stay. Activities include elephant
safaris, canoeing, bird watching and nature
tours conducted by resident professional
guides and naturalists.
A visit to Chitwan allows 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.
Chitwan fits well into a tour with a varied
itinerary and can be easily combined with
rafting and treks in the Annapurna region.
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 Pohkara
with arguably the most famous mountain backdrop
anywhere in the world.
9:30 a.m.: Crocodile walk. A 45 minutes
walk through grassland and forest upstream
of the Narayani or Rapti rivers. Board
boats to observe the wild life whilst
floating back to camp.
1:00 p.m.: Lunch.
3:30 p.m.: Elephant Safari /Jungle
Walk / Visit Observation Tower / Nature
Walk with Boat Ride.
