Chitwan National Park is Nepal’s oldest and most protected national park. It offers unforgettable wildlife adventures. Riding on elephant back allows sightings, sometimes close-up, of the many jungle residents; deer, birds, the rare One Horned Rhinoceros, the Bengal Tiger and Leopards.
This park, 932 sq. km in area, is one of the finest wildlife parks in Southeast Asia. It has over 50 species of mammals, 450 species of birds, 45 species of amphibians and reptiles. A tiger or a single horned rhino may suddenly appear. Less dramatic, yet exciting, different types of deer, wild boar, and sloth bears can be seen.
Transport is available according to taste and need. Elephants and jeeps are most suitable for those interested in looking at the animals. Crocodile enthusiasts and anglers can go on canoes down the river. There are nature treks to see and enjoy the many different birds in the park.
