Chitwan Wildlife Safari is the most exotic wildlife safari in Nepal. This tour gets its name from the national park itself. The name of the national park is Chitwan National Park. Once known as the Royal Chitwan national park is now Chitwan National Park. This UNESCO world heritage site and a national park was once a hunting ground for royals for big games. In current days it protects some rare species of plant, animals and birds.
This national park is the largest and the first national park in the country. Furthermore, it is the most accessible national park. Having said that, this national park lies close to the busiest national highways. It takes around 5 hours to reach Chitwan from Kathmandu by road and half an hour by air.
Chitwan Wildlife Safari begins from a place name Sauraha. Sauraha lies in the heart of the national park. This was once the home of tribal Tharu people. Recently, it is one of the most developed town with modern day amenities. Despite development, Sauraha is a mix of modern houses and tribal huts. One can see a beautiful mix of past and the present in this wildlife safari in Nepal.

Really exciting!! The resort that they took us, was fantastic. The activities were shocking, and the best of all, our guide is so generous with us. Thanks to him, we have a video to remember our experience in Chitwan.

Namaste! We visited Chitwan last weekend and it was AMAZING! Our guide Govin took us there and took really good care of us, made us feel comfortable at all times. Probably one of the best experiences I've lived here in Nepal. Our trip was perfectly organised and I feel like we made the most out of the time we had.
TOTALLY RECOMMEND IT (I'm actually thinking of coming back!)
Namaste! Visitamos Chitwan el fin de semana pasado y fue una experiencia INCREIBLE! Govin, nuestro guia, nos llevo hasta alli y estuvo muy atento de que no nos faltara de nada en ningun momento. Haber estado en Chitwan ha sido una de las experiencias mas bonitas que he vivido aqui en Nepal. Nuestro viaje estaba perfectamente organizado y senti que aprovechamos el tiempo al maximo sin dejarnos por hacer absolutamente nada.TOTALMENTE RECOMENDADO (Yo ya estoy pensando en volver la verdad!)
