Nepal: Chitwan Jungle Safari

This quick extension to a lovely jungle lodge in Chitwan National Park is the perfect way to end any trekking adventure in Nepal! When your trek finishes in Kathmandu or Pokhara, the next day you can take a lovely drive down through central foothills of Nepal and begin an adventurous jungle safari at a wonderful jungle lodge in Chitwan National Park. Elephants will carry you in search of rhinos, tigers, deer, bears, birds and other beautiful wildlife.

Detailed Itinerary

Day 1: From Kathmandu or Pokhara take a morning drive to Chitwan National Park arriving at our well-situated jungle lodge around noon. Chitwan was the hunting preserve for the Kings of Nepal until 1974 when 360 square miles was decreed a national park and all hunting was banned. The park is home to the world's largest population of the one-horned rhinoceros, an endangered species. Afternoon game viewing on elephant-back searching for rhinos, deer, bears, and the elusive Royal Bengal tiger.

Day 2: Morning game viewing excursion on elephants, and an afternoon river trip in local dug-out canoes looking for crocodiles and the many bird species along the river banks.

Day 3: After breakfast and a morning jungle walk, drive back to Kathmandu through the scenic lowlands and central foothills arriving by late afternoon.
