Chitwan National Park

Trip Overview

Chitwan National Park which stand today as successful testimony of nature conservation in South Asia. This is the first National Park of Nepal. It established in 1973 mostly to preserve a unique eco system significantly valuable to the whole world. The Park covering the protected area of 932 Sq. Km. is situated in the subtropical inner Terai lowlands of southern central part of Nepal. The Chitwan National Park gained much wider recognition when UNESCO included this area on the list of World Heritage Site in 1984. This National Park should emphasize on a very small part used for tourism. The great majority of the land, particularly in the hills, remains unvisited and therefore undisturbed. This is ideal for wildlife, and also preserves an element of mystery for humans . large areas are still unexplored, our knowledge of what birds and animals the park contains is by no means finalized, and there is always the possibility of making new discoveries. Jungle Safari in Chitwan is to observe wildlife at it’s natural habitat and to witness varied flora and faunas of the Chitwan National Park. Chitwan is home to more than 700 species of wildlife and more than 500 species of birds. The main attractions of Chitwan is the Royal Bengal Tiger and Asian one-horned rhinoceros. Other mammals include hog deer, leopard, sloth bear, golden fox, wild cats, rhesus monkeys, grey langur where birds are the thin-billed bubbler, the Gray-crowned Prinia, the swamp francolin, and many more.
