Trip Overview
Chitwan National Park, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is Nepal’s premier wildlife reserve, boasting dense forests and grassy plains that are home to rare mammals such as one-horned rhinos and Bengal tigers. With an impressive biodiversity including 56 species of herpetofauna, 544 bird species, 126 fish species, and 68 mammal species, the park is renowned for its conservation efforts for the One Horned Rhinoceros, Royal Bengal Tiger, and Gharial Crocodile.
During your stay at a lodge overlooking the lush forested valley and Rapti River for two or more nights, you’ll have the chance to immerse yourself in local village life and learn about sustainable living practices. Activities include thrilling Jeep safaris, canoeing trips, jungle walks, visits to ethnic communities, and cultural performances.
Experience the magic of wildlife with early morning excursions, where you’ll witness the enchanting “dawn chorus” and explore the park on foot or by Jeep with a knowledgeable naturalist guide. Spotting rhinos, sloth bears, wild boars, and if you’re lucky, the elusive Royal Bengal tiger, adds excitement to your adventure. After returning to the lodge for breakfast, witness elephants bathing in the river (only possible some time) and opt for a dugout canoe trip to observe crocodiles and birds along the riverbank. Chitwan National Park offers an unforgettable wildlife experience amidst stunning natural surroundings.

Additional Information
This is ADVENTURE travel, and many of the destinations on this site are in remote, underdeveloped areas where unpredictability is the norm. Despite careful planning and organization, our adventure trips can’t be taken for granted like regular trips. Many of the places we visit lack the emergency health and safety services you’re used to in the developed world. Internal flights can be canceled, road transport is often uncomfortable and unreliable, and hotel standards may not match those of the West.
If you’re not prepared for this, you shouldn’t travel with us. The unpredictability also means that our itineraries are statements of intent, not contractual obligations. Factors such as weather, transport difficulties, and political instability might require us to change any itinerary. The trip leader will make any necessary changes after consulting with the group. Such changes are rarely significant, and we always do our best to minimize their impact. However, we cannot be held responsible for changes or delays, regardless of their cause.
