About Sauraha

Sauraha is the one of the most famous Place in Nepal. It is located 160 kms by road from Kathmandu, 155 kms by road from Pokhara and 160 kms by road from the Indian border at Sunauli. Sauraha is separated from the Chitwan National Park by the Rapti River, which is safe to swim in. During the dry season one can wander the sand dunes of the shrunken river. It is possible to walk for miles along the mud roads west, north and east of the village to other, rural Tharu villages. In sauraha’s Rapti river we can swim in the river and watch the elephants being bathed. We can go for a jungle safari on foot,by elephant or by jeep. We can also go for a canoe trip on the river. Twenty years ago when Sauraha was a one horse village, the only places to stay were the lodges inside the national park, and these are not exactly cheap accommodation. Now there are upwards of fifty hotels/lodges in and around the village and the competition for guests is fierce. Except in the peak season, you will find a room for a very good price. The most convenient places are on the main track that leads into the village or, once you get to the river, turn right and choose a lodge along the river bank (especially if you want to watch the sun set from your lodge/hotel). In Sauraha, Tharu village is famous for to visit for the tourist because there is a museum and culture of tharu, which is proud of tharu. Sauraha is rich in natural resources. We can find different kinds of medicinal herbs on Chitwan National Park. It is covered with 70% sal’s forests which is separated in sauraha. We can saw a different kinds of wild animals by elephant ride in jungle. Boating is also famous for in Sauraha's Rapti river. Really Sauraha is very intresting and enjoyable place for all of you
