About Chitwan National Park

Forests, grasslands and rivers

Chitwan brings together forest, open grassland and the river landscapes of Nepal’s southern lowlands. A visit can combine wildlife viewing with quiet time by the water and an introduction to local life.

Wildlife experiences

Rhinos, deer, crocodiles and birds feature in the park’s wildlife stories. Jeep drives, guided walks and river outings offer different perspectives on these habitats. Sightings depend on conditions and are never guaranteed.

Culture beyond the forest

Tharu village visits and cultural performances add a human perspective to a safari itinerary. Ask your guide about the traditions behind the music, dance and everyday life you encounter.

Plan your visit

Choose your stay around your interests. Ask the team about current weather, park access and the pace of each outing before confirming your plans.
