Why Chitwan?

Explore a thrilling safari with diversity

The Chitwan National Park has a glorious history of conservation and managing unique biological resources for over three decades. UNESCO recognised its universal value in 1984 and listed it as a World Heritage Site. Chitwan National Park is one of the last remaining homes for magnificent and endangered species such as the one-horned Asiatic rhinoceros and the Bengal Tiger. Collaboration between the government and local communities to manage development activities in the buffer zone has led to improved conservation. The park is situated in the inner Terai lowlands towards the south-central region of the country. The swampy areas and oxbow lakes dotting the National Park provide the perfect refuge for marsh mugger crocodiles. A stretch of the Narayani River that runs through the National Park is home to the rare and endangered Gangetic gharials that eat only fish. One of the world’s four species of freshwater dolphins is also found in stretches of the Narayani River. Safaris into this National Park are thrilling and let you explore through tall elephant grasslands, Sal forests, and Terai lowlands where you can hope to spot exotic animals, birds, and reptiles.
