The Chitwan National Park Jungle Safari is a 7-day wildlife adventure into Nepal's most famous protected area. Established in 1973 as Nepal's first national park and designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984, Chitwan covers 952 square kilometers of pristine subtropical lowland wilderness.
Chitwan is home to an astonishing array of wildlife, including over 50 species of mammals and 500 species of birds. The park's most famous resident is the endangered one-horned rhinoceros, with Chitwan harboring one of the largest populations in the world—sightings are almost guaranteed. Other charismatic species include the elusive Bengal tiger, leopards, sloth bears, Asian elephants, wild boar, several species of deer, and two species of crocodiles.
Your safari experience includes a variety of activities designed to maximize wildlife viewing while providing different perspectives of the jungle. Explore the park's rivers by traditional dugout canoe, venture deep into the wilderness on thrilling jeep safaris, walk quietly through the forest with expert naturalist guides, and ride on the back of trained elephants for an elevated view of the grasslands.
Beyond wildlife, you'll also discover the rich cultural heritage of the Tharu people, who have lived in harmony with the jungle for centuries. With comfortable jungle lodge accommodations, expert guides, and a thoughtfully designed itinerary, this safari delivers an unforgettable wildlife experience in one of Asia's premier national parks.
