About this trip
Four days in Chitwan National Park, Nepal's lowland jungle, mixing wildlife spotting with Tharu village life. It's an easy-paced trip suited to all ages, built around walks, canoeing, and safaris rather than long treks.
You arrive after the drive from Kathmandu and settle in with lunch before an afternoon walk through Tharu Village, past traditional houses and the elephant stables, finishing at sunset. Evenings bring hotel dinners and, on the first night, a traditional Tharu dance performance.
The middle days are the wildlife core — canoeing the Rapti River for birds and basking crocodiles, a jeep safari into the jungle with a chance of spotting rhino or tiger, a visit to the Gharial breeding centre, and finally an elephant safari followed by elephant bathing.
