In the subtropical lowlands of southern Nepal, Chitwan National Park is one of the best places in Asia to spot one-horned rhinoceros in the wild, alongside Bengal tigers, gharial crocodiles, wild elephants, and over 500 species of birds. A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1984, the park's mix of grassland, riverine forest, and wetland makes for excellent wildlife viewing year-round.
A typical Chitwan visit includes jungle walks and jeep safaris with trained naturalist guides, a canoe ride along the Rapti River, and a visit to a nearby Tharu village to learn about the indigenous community's traditions, stick dances, and distinctive mud-and-thatch architecture.
Our Chitwan packages combine wildlife safaris with cultural experiences, and are a popular add-on to a Kathmandu or Pokhara itinerary for travelers wanting to see Nepal's wilder side.
