Jungle Safari in Nepal

Chitwan National Park Jungle Safari: Nepal’s first and most famous national park. Declared a ‘World Heritage Nature Site’ by UNESCO, it lies in the central development region and covers an area of 952.63 sq. km. Royal Chitwan National Park is home to more than 500 Asian one-horned rhinoceros and Royal Bengal Tigers, along with around 600 plant species, 50 mammals, 526 birds and 49 amphibians and reptiles. For jungle safari, Royal Chitwan National park is famous. Here you’ll travel through open grassland and dense forest on elephant back, and along the way you’ll come across all sorts of wild animals, including rhinos, different kinds of deer, wild boar and, in rare cases, tigers.

Another way to experience this wild world is by 4 wheel drive jeep. By jeep or on elephant back, you can head deep into the heart of the park and see some of its rare species of flora and fauna. You can also enter the park on foot, escorted by one of our well-trained naturalists, who will explain the hidden secrets of the jungle. It’s a great opportunity to see many species of birds, including water fowl, Brahminy ducks, pintails, bar-headed geese, cormorants, woodpeckers, hornbills, peacocks, peahens, floricans, red-headed trogons and many others.

Another activity in the park is the boat/canoe trip down the Rapti and Narayani Rivers. It’s one of the more peaceful ways to explore the area, as you float downstream with the river’s flow. On the outskirts of Chitwan you can visit the Tharu community and see their artistically decorated thatched huts, their traditional dance and how they live alongside the national park. A Chitwan jungle safari is certainly an adventure the whole family can enjoy.
