Chitwan National Park

Chitwan Safari

Trip Overview

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.

Before You Go

As the crow files, ninety Kilometers south – west of Kathmanndu, is the Royal Chitwan National park. Widely acknowledged as one of the best national park in Asia, it spreads over a total area 967 square kilometers.. In the north- west section of the park is an island known as the Bandarjhola. Surrounded by the Narayani River, this unique island consists of riverine forest, tall grassland, marshland, numerous inlets and oxbow lakes. Such a diverse combination of nature is found only here on this island providing a perfect habitat for wildlife.

My sister and I really enjoyed our trip to Nepal and very much enjoyed the programme you put together for us.  There were many places we had not been to on our previous visit and the places we had already visited we enjoyed going back to see them again.  We have come back to England with a lot of happy memories and lots and lots of photographs. We had a journey home which lasted 24 hours but we had no problems on the journey and arrived home safely.

We reached Hyderabad safely around midnight of 19th, after enjoying a wonderful holiday organized by you. The trip was memorable thanks to the trouble taken by you and all your people who made it so enjoyable.Please thank Mr Mohan and his group at Pokhara who made our stay there also very happy and comfortable.The food at both Pokhara and Kathmandu was very delicious and all of us enjoyed it. In fact, as I wrote to you before leaving for Kathmandu, we were apprehensive about how we, vegetarians, would fare there. As assured by you, we did not have any trouble ...

My first experience was in November 2019. I had booked a single trekking for Annapurna circuit. It was perfect organized, the guide was very professional, and spoke very good English. Guide and porter were well equipped which is in my opinion also very important.
