The Chitwan Jungle Safari begins with a scenic drive from Kathmandu to Chitwan National Park. Leaving Kathmandu Valley behind, the road traverses highways, traversing river valleys, settlements in the hills, farmlands and market towns until it reaches the lowland plains of southern Nepal.
Upon arrival in Chitwan, we will transfer to the resort and receive a briefing about the upcoming activities and the surrounding area. The rest of the day can be used to have fun in the resort or to sightsee the new environment. Visitors can also get a chance to learn about the local Tharu community and their relationship with the territory depending on the arrival time and the resort program.
Today is the main wildlife exploration day of the Chitwan Jungle Safari. After breakfast, we will take part in various activities inside and around Chitwan National Park. Depending on the selected package and park regulations, activities may include a jeep safari, canoe ride, guided jungle walk, bird watching excursion, and visits to important wildlife habitats within the park.
On the safari, the visitors might get a chance to see the greater one horned rhinoceros, spotted deer, wild boar, crocodiles, monkeys, and many types of birds. The sighting of wildlife is based on the nature of the environment and movement of animals, yet the various activities enhance the possibility of viewing the rich biodiversity of the park.
We can also pay visits to local Tharu villages to understand their traditional way of life and the long association that they have made with forests of Chitwan. During the evening, the guests will be able to experience a cultural show by the Tharu people and go back to the resort to spend the night.
The last day starts with early morning activities within and around the Chitwan national park. Early morning is usually a time when wildlife is active thus it is a nice time to see the area surrounding it and appreciate the peaceful surroundings of the park before leaving.
After breakfast, we will leave Chitwan and begin the return journey to Kathmandu. The road is the same road, winding through the valleys of the rivers and through the mountainous terrain, to the capital. At the end, the Chitwan Wildlife Tour ends with the recollection of forests, wildlife and the natural beauty of Nepal.
