Royal Chitwan National Park
 | |
Elephant back is a fantastic way to explore the jungle and offers the possibility of close-up views of rhinos in their natural habitat as well as many of the park's other inhabitants. With over 400 species as either permanent residents or migratory visitors Chitwan's bird life is generally viewed on foot as you walk through jungle and open grasslands.
Boat along the Narayani River on the park's western boundary, it shelters a quarter of the world's remaining gharial population. This fish eating crocodile has long been hunted for the supposed aphrodisiac qualities of its snout.
Suggested Itinerary: 2 nights/3 days. Extra nights are easily added. All itineraries include elephant safari, bird watching, jungle walks, boat rides. All walks and rides are accompanied by trained naturalist guides.
