Day 1: Kathmandu to Chitwan

Our private vehicle will pick you up from your hotel.  We will drive on the winding road along the Trishuli River to Chitwan (5 to 6 hours depending on traffic).  

After checking in the hotel in Chitwan, we will take a tour of the village, walk on the bank of the Rapti River and watch the sunset from there.  Before dinner, we will enjoy a one-hour local tribal dance performance that is unique in the Terai region.

Day 2:  Chitwan National Park 

Today we will explore the Chitwan National Park.  Early in the morning before breakfast, we will go for bird watching in the national park. After breakfast, we will have a canoe ride in the Rapti River to discover Gharial and Mugger crocodiles, fresh water dolphins, otters, pythons and a variety of water birds.  The canoe ride will be followed by a short nature hike in the forest when we will be able to take a close look at wild flora and fauna in the park. After the hike, we will visit the elephant breeding centre where baby elephants are born and raised before being released to the forests.

After lunch, we will take a jeep jungle safari in the dense forests of the park.  Look for animals like one-horned rhinos, deer, rhesus monkey, and many colored birds.  If you are lucky, you will see leopards, wild elephants and sloth bears. If you are extremely lucky, you may spot a majestic royal Bengal tiger!
