Chitwan Jungle Safari
Day 1: Drive to Chitwan National Park (165 Km / 5 hrs)
Today, we start our day with an early morning breakfast before embarking on a scenic drive to Chitwan, which is situated approximately 165 kilometers away from Kathmandu. Our journey leads us along a winding road that follows the banks of the Trishuli River.
Upon our arrival and check-in at the hotel, a comprehensive briefing awaits us. During this session, we will receive information about the exciting activities that will fill our days in Chitwan.
Following the briefing, we embark on a captivating village tour, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the local culture. We then visit the serene banks of the Rapti River, where we can relish the sunset amidst the lush sub-tropical jungles of Chitwan.
As night descends, we indulge in a delicious dinner complemented by a captivating cultural performance that showcases the unique tribal dances indigenous to the Chitwan region of Nepal.
Day 2: Chitwan Jungle Safari
Following our morning meal, we embark on an adventure through the lush jungles, where we kick off with a serene canoe journey down the Rapti River. As we navigate the river's gentle currents, we might have the privilege of observing Gharial and Mugger crocodiles up close, as well as catching glimpses of playful freshwater dolphins, otters, and an array of waterfowl. Alternatively, we can opt for bird watching or serene nature walks, allowing us to get up close to the diverse flora and fauna that call this park home.
After our tranquil canoe ride, we make our way to the elephant breeding center, where we can learn more about these majestic creatures and their conservation efforts. Upon returning to our hotel, we savor a well-deserved lunch and enjoy some leisure time to rest and rejuvenate.
In the afternoon, we embark on an exciting jungle safari, and here, we have a choice of two options: either on the back of an elephant or in a sturdy jeep. This safari offers us the opportunity to spot some of the park's most iconic wildlife, including the elusive one-horned rhinoceros, the regal Bengal tiger, bears, deer, and a multitude of other fascinating creatures, reptiles, and bird species.
