The proximity of Raxaul to Chitwan makes this package both practical and economical, eliminating complicated travel routes or expensive flights. Couples, families, and solo travelers can easily embark on their jungle adventure with well-organized transfers and tour support.
Jeep Safari
One of the most thrilling ways to explore Chitwan National Park is through a jeep safari. Travel deep into the park’s dense forests and wide grasslands in a sturdy 4x4 vehicle accompanied by experienced guides who are skilled at spotting wildlife. This safari offers the best chance to encounter some of Chitwan’s most iconic species, including the Bengal tiger, one-horned rhinoceros, sloth bears, spotted deer, wild boars, and playful monkeys. Covering large areas of the park in a short time, the jeep safari is both adventurous and safe, making it the most comprehensive wildlife experience.
For a more traditional and intimate safari, the elephant-back ride gives you a completely different perspective of the jungle. Elevated on the gentle giant, you can move quietly through tall grasslands and forest trails that are often inaccessible to vehicles. This increases the chance of close encounters with shy and elusive animals. The slow pace allows you to soak in the beauty of the jungle while experiencing the age-old way of exploring Chitwan.
The Rapti River canoe ride provides a tranquil break from the thrill of the jeep and elephant safaris. As you drift along the calm waters, you’ll have the opportunity to spot gharial crocodiles basking on the riverbanks, marsh mugger crocodiles, and an impressive array of water birds. The lush greenery and serene atmosphere create a perfect balance of relaxation and wildlife spotting, offering breathtaking views of Chitwan’s riverine ecosystem.
For travelers who love to explore on foot, guided jungle walks bring you up close to the park’s smaller but equally fascinating inhabitants. Led by professional naturalists, these walks introduce you to a world of insects, butterflies, reptiles, and medicinal plants that often go unnoticed during safaris. The guides share insights into the delicate balance of the ecosystem, giving you a deeper appreciation of Chitwan’s biodiversity.
Bird Watching Tours
Chitwan is internationally recognized as a birdwatcher’s paradise, with more than 500 recorded species, including both resident and migratory birds. Early morning birdwatching tours are arranged to maximize sightings of colorful species like the kingfisher, hornbill, paradise flycatcher, and even rare migratory storks and eagles. For photography lovers and bird enthusiasts, this is a true highlight of the safari.
Visit to the Elephant Breeding Centre
A visit to the Elephant Breeding Centre offers a unique opportunity to understand Nepal’s conservation efforts. Here, you can observe elephants of all ages—from playful calves to majestic adults—and learn about the breeding program’s role in preserving endangered species. It’s both an educational and heartwarming experience, especially for families and children.
Tharu Culture Experience
Beyond wildlife, the package also introduces you to the vibrant Tharu culture, the indigenous community of Chitwan. With optional village visits, you can enjoy traditional Tharu dance performances, music, and local cuisine, gaining insight into their unique lifestyle and traditions. This cultural exchange enriches your safari, allowing you to connect with the human heritage of the region just as much as its wildlife.
