Chitwan
Welcome to Chitwan, where the wild roams free, cultures run deep, and every morning brings with it the hope of a new experience. Situated in the lush lowlands of south-central Nepal, Chitwan is celebrated for its unmatched natural wealth and the legendary Chitwan National Park, a World Heritage Site. Whether you are a wildlife enthusiast, culture vulture, or just someone looking for an escape into the natural world, Chitwan provides a thrilling yet soul-stirring experience like none other.
Chitwan National Park, established in 1973, is 932 square kilometers of dense forest, marshland, and grassland. It’s a sanctuary for some of the world’s most endangered and rare species, including the Bengal tiger, one-horned rhinoceros, and gharial crocodile. Go on a jungle jeep safari, take a traditional dug-out canoe down the Rapti River, or embark on a relaxing birdwatching excursion—whatever path you take in Chitwan, you’ll be ringside at nature’s greatest show.
Apart from wildlife wonders, Chitwan is a riches trove of culture. The indigenous Tharu people welcome visitors with open arms, introducing them to a world of vibrant traditions, handmade handicrafts, and ancient lifestyles. Their stick dances, stilted houses, and traditional foods offer a window into a heritage that has coexisted peacefully with nature for centuries. A visit to a Tharu village is not a tour—a cultural experience that lingers on.
For the travelers who wish to roam Chitwan with ease and comfort, we offer full travel services for all kinds of travelers. Choose from car reservations and bike reservations to travel along scenic highways and villages, or book domestic flights for quick and easy access to the region. Something a little different? Experience the thrill of a helicopter ride over the jungles and plains, with panoramic views of Chitwan’s foliage from the skies.
What is most distinctive about Chitwan is the harmony of adventure and relaxation. Spend the morning tracking rhinos in the jungle, paddle lazily in a canoe at dusk, and relax at night to a cultural dance by the campfire. The pace of Chitwan is the pace of your own rhythm—fast when you require thrills, slow when you require peace. It’s a perfect retreat for couples, individuals, and families.
