The Chitwan Wildlife Tour (6 Nights / 7 Days) is a relaxed and immersive jungle holiday in the heart of Chitwan National Park, Nepal’s most famous wildlife reserve and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Less than half an hour by flight or around five hours’ scenic drive from Kathmandu or Pokhara, Chitwan offers a dramatic change of landscape—from mountains to subtropical jungle. Dense sal forests, tall elephant grass, winding rivers, and traditional Tharu villages form the backdrop to an extraordinary wildlife experience.
The park is home to endangered one-horned rhinoceros, Royal Bengal tiger, leopard, sloth bear, wild bison, striped hyena, Gangetic dolphin, and the rare gharial crocodile. With more than 450 bird species and diverse reptiles, mammals, and fish, this longer stay allows you to explore Chitwan deeply and at a relaxed pace.
