Elephant Safari: Visitor Information

Seated high on the back of a trained elephant exploring the grasslands and core area of the park, you become an integral part of the life of the Chitwan National Park. The elephant safari, though not the most comfortable rides, is an amazing experience. And it doesn’t take long to spot at least a rhino in these forests.

Historical safari activity

Elephant-back excursions appeared in earlier safari programmes. That listing does not establish current availability.

Ask about present-day activities and animal-care practices before deciding. Jeep drives and guided walks provide other ways to explore forest habitats.
