Two nights in the “heart of the jungle” give you time to enjoy Chitwan properly. The 3 Days Chitwan Tour Package (2 nights / 3 days) is based in Sauraha, on the edge of Chitwan National Park – a UNESCO World Heritage Site of sal forest, grassland and rivers, home to the one-horned rhinoceros, Royal Bengal tiger, sloth bear, gharial and mugger crocodiles and more than 450 species of birds. Your hotel, full board (two breakfasts, lunches and dinners), a trained local naturalist, national park fees and all jungle activities are included, with transfers from the Sauraha bus park or Bharatpur airport.
After arriving and lunch, you walk through a Tharu village to learn about the life of the Terai’s indigenous people, visit the National Park Visitor Centre and watch the sunset from the Rapti riverbank, ending the day with a Tharu cultural dance. The second day is a full day of jungle activities: birdwatching in the morning mist, a dugout canoe ride on the Rapti past basking crocodiles, a guided jungle walk, a visit to the Elephant Breeding Centre, where baby elephants stay close to their mothers, and an afternoon jeep safari into the core of the park in search of rhinos, deer and – with luck – a tiger.
On the last morning, after breakfast, you are transferred to the bus station or Bharatpur airport to continue to Kathmandu, Pokhara or Lumbini. Transfers from Kathmandu by private car, tourist coach or flight can be added.
