Activities

There are many exciting activities on offer at Chitwan National Park, all of which immerse you in the local culture and bring you closer to the fascinating wildlife. Please see a few of them listed below:

        Jungle Safari: This is a truly immersive experience and a fantastic way to see the majority of the park and spot the local wildlife. The whole trip lasts around 5 hours including a short break at the crocodile breeding centre half way. Sightings are of course variable, but to give you an idea, we were lucky enough to see a Bengal Tiger, one-horned rhinos, monkeys, monitor lizards, spotted deer, crocodile and plenty of colourful peacocks.         Elephant Bathing: You will take a short walk down the river where your elephant will be waiting with their keeper. Follow them into the river and give your elephant a good scrub! It is a wonderful experience and you’re also assisting with one of the elephants 4 baths a day which they relish. A guide is on hand with towels and to take some great photos for you.           Jungle Walk: If you don’t fancy the longer jeep ride, exploring the jungle on foot is a healthier alternative which also gives you a chance to get up close to the unique flora of the National Park as well as exploring its fascinating habitats. You will be lead on your walk by an experienced and very knowledgeable guide who is sure to have the answers to all of your questions!           Canoeing: This isn’t canoeing how we know it… Firstly, it is a narrow hollowed out tree with small wooden seats rather than an actual canoe, and secondly you don’t do any paddling yourself. The river guide will stand on the back of your canoe and steer using a very long bamboo stick, you will also be accompanied by another guide to offer their knowledge along the way (and to spot the crocodiles!). The boat trip lasts around half an hour and ends with a visit to the elephant breeding centre, you will then be driving back to your lodge.           Tharu Cultural Show: Presented in the evenings in the village hall, this wonderfully loud performance displays a number of traditional dances and musical talents whilst learning all about the Tharu culture. You even have the opportunity to join in on the final dance!           Bird Watching: Boasting over 650 species of birds, you certainly won’t be short of sighting opportunities. Within the jungle itself, beautiful wild peacocks roam elegantly through the trees. Head to the river banks where kingfishers can be seen swooping down into the waters for their catch. Cranes, purple herons, cinnamon bittern and black-crowned night are also amongst the many species which live in the National Park.           Chitwan National Park Presentation: This very detailed slideshow presentation is given by one of Chitwans extremely knowledgeable leaders. They will educate you on the fascinating history of Chitwan along with photographs dating back many years which depicts perfectly the journey this National Park has been on.           Cycling: Go at your own pace and rent some bikes. Explore the edges of the National Park or the nearby villages which are full of interest.
