Chitwan National Park Tour

A representative of HimalayanTrekkers will pick you up from the airport and transfer you to the Hotel in Kathmandu. In the afternoon you can explore the streets of Thamel, the tourist capital of Nepal.

In the evening during the welcome dinner, you will be briefed about your program. Overnight.

We start the day with a warm breakfast at Kathmandu and head towards Chitwan. We make stops for tea refreshment and at around 1 pm we reach Chitwan where a fresh lunch will be waiting for you.

After rest, your jungle guide/naturalist will brief you about the activities and take you for a walk around the Tharu Village. You can see the lifestyle and things they do. Besides that, the guide will also explain to you how they are dependent upon forests and rivers for life and also their tattoo and Heena culture. You can see some of the Tharu men and women making baskets and fishnets from locally available resources.

After you return back to the hotel you will be served some drinks and the Tharu dance starts in the hotel premises. It is an hour of the program with different dances of the Tharu community. At last, the dancers will invite you to dance and move your body for a while before dinner for a good appetite!

Your day starts with a wakeup call which is mostly a knock at the door by the staff as most jungle lodges don’t have intercom services. You will have breakfast before heading out for the canoe trip.

The canoe is a long wooden boat made from either a silk cotton tree or Sal tree and accommodates as much as 15 people depending upon the length. The ride will be about 40 minutes and during the canoe ride, you can see the two species of crocodile basking in the sun and many birds and if you are lucky enough a rhino drinking water from the river. The canoe ride ends near the Elephant breeding center where you can see more than 25 elephants and some small yet big newborns. The Naturalist will brief you about the daily routine, behavior and eating habit of the elephants. After the briefing, we will go to the river to see the elephants bathing. You can take a shower on top of an elephant after paying 2-3 dollars if not taking pictures of others doing so is always free.

We will head back to the hotel and have lunch. After lunch, we will participate in the elephant back safari which is usually 1.5 to 2 hours long. You often see animals like deer, monkey, and Rhino on this trip. Walk back through the forest to the hotel.

After breakfast, we drive back to Kathmandu with sweet memories of Chitwan and its wildlife.
