Chitwan National Park

Chitwan National Park lies at the great, tremendous subtropical Inner Terai lowlands in the impressive south-central part of Nepal; it is a safe and wide-filled sanctuary of incredible biodiversity and awesome significance. Founded in 1973 and designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984, this park has over 932 square kilometres, offering a great blend of lush green-filled forests, grasslands, wetlands, and all-flowing rivers. Its vibrant ecosystem is also home to some of the planet's most iconic and greatly endangered species, such as the Bengal tiger, the elusive and rare one-horned rhinoceros, and the majestic and memorable Asiatic elephant. Visitors also marvel through the pristine Rapti and Narayani rivers through the fine park, which forms a haven for all great aquatic life forms and offers many canoe rides and bird-watching endeavours. The park is also a great bird lover's paradise, with over 550 species of birds, including fine kingfishers, hornbills, and the elusive Bengal florican. Traditional Tharu culture also complements the rich biodiversity in the surrounding villages. Indigenous communities have lived in oneness with nature for several decades to centuries, enriching the whole experience for several travellers.
