Trip Overview
Get ready for an exciting trip to Chitwan Jungle Safari, Nepal’s top natural attraction and the country’s pioneering national park. Established in 1973 as the inaugural national park in Nepal, this remarkable site was later designated as a World Heritage Site in 1984, solidifying its global significance.
It is the home of the more than 700 species of wildlife and a not yet fully surveyed number of butterfly, moth and insect species. At least 43 species of mammals and also kept the record of getting almost 543 species of bird. The variation of different species of birds and animals is the most interesting and exciting part for visiting Chitwan National Park.
The area is located in the central climatic zone of the Himalayas, where monsoon starts in mid June and eases off in late September. During these 14–15 weeks most of the 2,500 mm yearly precipitation falls – it is pouring with rain.
On the edge of the national park Sauraha is a well-known spot for tourists. Accessible from the nearby Bharatpur Airport, Sauraha offers a choice of hotels, lodges, restaurants and agencies that organize day trips into the protected area.
