About this trip
Nepal runs from the summit of Everest down to near sea level, and that range shows up in the landscape, climate, and wildlife you'll see over this week. This tour pairs Kathmandu's historic sites with a proper dip into the lowland jungle of Chitwan National Park.
It's a private, fully guided trip, so the pace and focus stay flexible while someone else handles the logistics of getting between the cultural sights and the national park.
What you'll do
- Explore historical and cultural sites around Kathmandu
- Head into Chitwan National Park's dense tropical forest
- Look for one-horned rhino and Bengal tiger on safari
- Spot other wildlife such as barking deer, crocodiles, wild boar and bear
- Private and fully guided, so the itinerary can flex around you
- Wildlife sightings in Chitwan are never guaranteed, though the park is known for rhino and tiger
Worth it if you're flexible about wildlife spotting and have a good guide. Think twice if Himalayan views are non-negotiable or you need English-speaking drivers throughout.
- Guide quality makes or breaks it. Raj and Navaraj were informative, flexible with itineraries, and organised logistics seamlessly.
- Wildlife promises oversold. Marketing mentions elephant safaris and breeding centres you may not access; actual park visits limited.
- Himalayan views heavily compromised by air pollution; poor road conditions and endless roadworks add gruelling travel time.
- Public bus sections require smaller bags only; big suitcases stay in Kathmandu. Clarify upfront or pack accordingly.
