Trip overview

About this trip

Established in 1973, Chitwan National Park was the first national park of Nepal and remains one of its most popular. Located in the sub-tropical inner Terai lowlands of south central Nepal, the park has many trails that you can discover on foot, instead of from a safari vehicle.

The spotted deer, sambar, hog deer and wild boar, and rhesus and langur monkeys are a few of the many wildlife species found in Chitwan. The greater one-horned rhinoceros and Bengal tiger are also found here. Your guide will be able to help you decipher other signs of wildlife and help you understand wildlife behaviors and the environment.

During a full day walking tour with your guide through Chitwan National Park, you will hear and see a variety of wildlife and learn how jungle inhabitants co-exist with each other. You will explore other aspects of the jungles that people miss while on a vehicle safari.

There are many factors that influence wildlife sighting. They include season, weather, and the route approved for the day. Your guide will provide a lot of information during your exploration and help you understand what you see in the environment around you. You will have a full day to learn and explore all that the jungle has to offer.
