A 3-day immersion into Nepal's wild heart — track one-horned rhinos, glide down jungle rivers, and discover the rich culture of the Tharu people.
Chitwan National Park is Nepal's premier wildlife destination — a UNESCO World Heritage Site where dense subtropical jungles, winding rivers, and vast grasslands shelter some of Asia's most extraordinary creatures. This 3-day safari package takes you deep into the heart of the Terai lowlands for an intimate encounter with nature at its most untamed.
Track the endangered one-horned rhinoceros on a thrilling jeep safari, paddle silently along the Rapti River in a traditional dugout canoe spotting gharial crocodiles and exotic water birds, and walk through ancient sal forests with an expert naturalist guide. With over 500 species of birds and a chance to spot Bengal tigers, sloth bears, and wild elephants, Chitwan is a wildlife lover's paradise.
Beyond the wildlife, experience the warm hospitality of the indigenous Tharu people through their captivating traditional dance and the comfort of a riverside jungle lodge where every meal is prepared with care and every evening ends under a canopy of stars.
