For wildlife lovers who want to go deeper, the 4 Days Chitwan Safari (3 nights / 4 days) gives you three nights in a 3-star hotel at Sauraha and two full days inside Chitwan National Park, Nepal’s oldest and best-known wildlife reserve and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. With more time, you can explore different habitats – river, forest and the tall grasslands where rhinos and tigers hide – at an unhurried pace, with full board, a trained English-speaking naturalist, park fees and all activities included.
After a first afternoon in a Tharu village and at the elephant stables, with sunset over the Rapti River and the Tharu stick dance, day two begins with a dugout canoe ride through the morning mist – an excellent chance to see the two rare crocodiles of Chitwan, the marsh mugger and the fish-eating gharial – followed by a jungle walk to look for tracks and birds. In the afternoon a jeep safari crosses the park to Kasara, the park headquarters, where the Gharial Breeding Centre rears young gharials for release into Nepal’s rivers.
Day three takes you into the grasslands and core forest on a wildlife safari – the grass can be taller than a person – with a free afternoon to relax by the pool or visit the Elephant Breeding Centre. On the last morning, a sunrise birdwatching walk (Chitwan has more than 540 species) rounds off the trip before your transfer to the bus park or Bharatpur airport.
