Itinerary
Namaste! Welcome to Nepal. Please meet at our Kathmandu office listed in the 'Joining point' section in the Essential Trip Information the day prior to departure at 5 pm for a meeting.
We'll depart Kathmandu after breakfast approximately 8 am, travelling by private vehicle to Chitwan National Park (approximately 5 hours). Of all the world's remaining jungles, this is one of the most enchanting. Discover a lost world of towering trees and twisting vines and of lumbering rhinos. There are crocodiles, pythons, deer and brilliantly coloured birds. Spend the evenings by the banks of the river Rapti in the small village of Sauraha, located on the edge of the park.
Over the next few days you'll boat along the Rapti, which shelters around a quarter of the world's remaining gharial population. This fish-eating crocodile has been hunted in the past for the supposed aphrodisiac qualities of its snout. Enjoy a guided jeep safari into the National Park as well as a bird-watching experience, and spend some time in a local village. Cap the trip off with an evening performance of a traditional stick dance by the local Tharu people.

I enjoyed my time on this tour, it was great to visit the national park. However, it should be noted that activities can be spread out so be prepared for a lot of free time at the hotel.
