The important stuff
-
Day 1 – Arrive in Chitwan | Wildlife & Tharu Culture
Arrive in Chitwan and settle into your lodge before meeting your local naturalist for an introduction to the park and the days ahead. Spend the afternoon exploring the surrounding area, enjoy sunset near the Rapti River and experience the traditions and culture of the local Tharu community.
Day 2 – Chitwan National Park | Full Day Wildlife Experience
Start early with a guided nature experience and traditional canoe journey along the Rapti River, keeping watch for gharial and mugger crocodiles, waterbirds and wildlife along the riverbanks. Later, head deeper into Chitwan by jeep in search of one-horned rhinos, deer, wild boar, monkeys and, with some considerable luck, the elusive Bengal tiger.
Day 3 – Morning Birdwatching & Onward Journey
Enjoy one final early-morning birdwatching experience before returning to the lodge for breakfast. Afterwards, continue your journey to Kathmandu, Pokhara or your next destination in Nepal.
