While the high Himalayas make up Nepal's northern region, the southern low land, known as the Terai, is covered with dense tropical jungles teeming with diverse wildlife and exotic birds. Here you will find some of the most exciting safari destinations in the world. You will be going into deep jungle on elephant back or four-wheel drive vehicle to view wild animals in their natural habitat. Other thrills are canoe ride, nature walks, birds watching excursions, and village tours and in the evening local Tharu people perform their cultural dance by the fire (depending on the lodge) or the expert naturalists introduce you with the history of parks, animals, birds etc through slide shows or orientation program. So JUNGLE SAFARIS in Nepal will provide you with thrilling experience as the national parks of Nepal are rated as probably the best parks in the Asia and in the World.

Among the 14 national parks and wildlife reserves in the Kingdom, the Royal Chitwan National Parks (932 sq. Km) is the most popular safari destination. More than 43 species of animals are found in Chitwan. The endangered One Horned Rhino, Royal Bengal Tiger, Gharial Crocodile, four-horned antelope, striped hyena, and the Gangetic dolphin are the main attractions here. The best part is that it is close to Kathmandu and easily accessible (only 165 km overland ), and Bharatpur airport adjoining the park is a mere 25 minute flight away (there are daily flights form Kathmandu). Many adventures also choose to go down by raft. However you go, a jungle safari is an experience you will remember for a long time.

The Normal program for Chitwan is for 2 nights and three days. from Kathmandu it takes only half and hour to reach the park by flight, 4 hours by car or 7 hours by raft. In fact rafting is the most thrilling way of reaching the park if you are not afraid of water and love adventure. The rafting river (TRISHULI) follows the road to Chitwan after 90 minutes of drive from Kathmandu.
 

Your program start from your arrival in the lodge or resort you are staying in. After your arrival you are served with the hot lunch and after lunch, depending on the location of the resorts, you are taken for an exciting tour of elephant breeding centre or Tharu village walk or jungle ride.  You will be spending next full day in the park with activities like elephant back safari to view the animals, dug out canoe ride, bird watching tour, jungle walk, tharu village walk etc. In the evening the resort will organize you tharu cultural dance or slide shows or other forms of entertainment (depending on the lodges). Next day waking up early in the morning you will proceed to jungle walk to encounter the animals and the birds early. After breakfast if you are traveling back to your destination transfer is provided or if you are extending the stay other program follows

Accommodation.
The location of the hotels are at different parts of the park or inside of the park and outside the park. If you are looking for budget option or easy option you should head for Sauraha as the village is situated outside but at the central entrance gate of the park. There are lots of hotels/lodges in Sauraha so the accommodation will not be a problem. But Sauraha is now becoming concrete jungle with the ultra modern style hotels that does not suit the environment of the park. However there are some very good lodges which are built using local materials and are worth staying. SAFARI ADVENTURE LODGE  is probably the best located  lodge out side the park ( it is near by Sauraha but not exactly at Sauraha). So If you are planning to stay in Sauraha we definitely recommend this hotel as the service and the accommodation  is also pleasant in addition to the location.
 

The Six main resorts are located at different parts of the parks. These five resorts are located inside the parks. They are 1) Tiger Tops Jungle Lodge, 2) Temple Tiger Jungle Lodge, 3) Gainda Wildlife Camp/Lodge, 4) Chitwan Jungle Lodge, 5) Machan Wildlife Resort  and 6) Island Jungle Resort.  If your wallet allows you to spend, we recommend you to spend your time inside the jungle lodges mentioned above as these are a bit expensive resorts but the services and the locations are superb.  There are also some nice lodges and the resorts just outside the park boundary which provide good services and program. But If you are also looking for budget options staying out side  the park is recommended as there are plenty of budget lodges.
