A visit to Chitwan National Park reveals a completely different side of Nepal. Set on the terai at the edge of the Indian plains, Chitwan is a world of dense forests, wide river flats and tall grasslands that feel a world away from the mountains.
Over three days, you’ll explore this jungle landscape on foot, by canoe and by jeep, with the chance to see wildlife such as one-horned rhinos, deer, monkeys, crocodiles and a variety of birdlife. With luck, you might even catch a glimpse of a sloth bear or Bengal tiger. Our jeep safaris take you deep inside the national park, while walks and quiet canoe trips offer a slower way to take it all in.
This short adventure is an ideal contrast to time spent trekking or exploring Nepal’s bustling towns, giving you the chance to experience the rich diversity of the country in just a few days.

A brief 3 days out of Kathmandu and down the madness of a roads to a lovely and quiet lodge on the edge of Chitwan National Park. We arrived in rain at the end of the monsoon and spent a couple of wet days with expert our guide wandering part of the park. While we never saw tigers, we did bag a few rhinos and some of the amazing bird life. Our guide kept borrowing cameras to take way better photos then we could and his eyes were amazing. How he could see monkeys at the top of a tree from 100m away is still amazing. The staff in the lodge were lovely people and kept us well fed with laughter and much beer. We finished the days with a breakfast and a walk to the rooftop in sunshine to see the snow capped mountains in the distance.
Every departure date advises whether the date is confirmed, and roughly how full it is. Here is what each one means.
If a date shows Guaranteed to go, it runs regardless of further bookings.
It means two travellers are enough to confirm the departure. It could be 2 more to add to the group, or the date only needs 2 people to run. Either way, if you book for two people, the date will become guaranteed to run.
You will know the status before you book. Every date on this page is labelled, and dates marked “Guaranteed to go” are running regardless of further bookings. Where a date has not reached its minimum we either offer a surcharge to operate for a smaller group size so it can still run, or we cancel it. We contact you directly either way.
If we cancel a departure due to not meeting minimum trip numbers, you receive a full refund of everything you have paid us less any non recoverable costs, where insurance may cover you. We cannot refund money committed elsewhere – additional non refundable deposits advised at the time of booking, flights, visas, vaccinations, gear - which is why it is worth waiting for “Guaranteed to go” before booking other arrangements around this trip date. Please read our Booking Terms and Conditions before you book.
Each trip closes online a set time before departure. Permits, internal flights and hut or campsite bookings all have to be arranged before we take payment. Call or enquire as it might still be possible to organise last minute places.
Cancellations happen and places do open up on closed dates, so it is worth being on our list. We can also tell you which nearby date on the same trip has space, which is usually the faster route.
Yes, as a private departure. We can run this trip on a date you choose, for your own group - family, friends, a club, or in many cases, just for the two of you. Tell us when you want to travel and who is coming, and we will build it around that.
Africa's wildlife is wild and unfenced. On many wildlife safaris you may meet them on foot, or from a vehicle. Walking in big-game country carries some risk, and the safeguards are not the same in every country.
Rules on firearms, guide qualifications, group size and how close you may approach an animal are set country by country, park by park. Many incorrectly assume that every wildlife safari in Africa travels with an armed ranger. Several countries prohibit firearms outright. Where an armed escort is required, it is supplied by the park authority.
What is consistent is how these trips operate. You walk in a small group with a professional local guide who knows the country and the animals in it. We do not include captive or hands-on wildlife encounters in any itinerary.
Besides the Himalayan Mountains, Nepal has a lowland area that abounds in wildlife. In this post, we take you to Chitwan to show you ...
