Chitwan Jungle Safari 2 Night

Three days in Chitwan National Park, one of Nepal's oldest protected areas and a UNESCO World Heritage site, where dense forest and grassland shelter one-horned rhinos, Bengal tigers, leopards and hundreds of bird species.

Rather than one long trek, you get a mix of ways into the park - jeep safari, canoe ride and guided walks - plus time with the local Tharu community, whose villages and traditions are woven into the visit.

It's a short, low-key introduction to the park rather than a deep wildlife expedition, and it works equally well for families, couples or anyone short on time who still wants a proper taste of the jungle.

What you'll do

• Jeep safari through the park's grassland and forest tracks
• Visit the crocodile breeding centre at Kasara to see Gharial and marsh crocodiles up close
• Stop at the Elephant Breeding Centre, one of only two in the world
• Canoe ride along the river past crocodiles and waterbirds
• Explore a Tharu village with a local guide
• Watch a traditional Tharu cultural performance
