Chitwan National Park is a renowned and biologically rich protected area located in Nepal, specifically in the south-central region, approximately 150 kilometers from Kathmandu. Established in 1973 as Nepal’s first national park, it has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1984. Covering an area of 952.63 square kilometers, the park offers a unique opportunity to experience the subtropical lowlands of the Terai, making it a haven for wildlife enthusiasts, bird watchers, and adventurers alike.

Main and traditional activities that you can enjoy on a 2-night, 3-day trip to Chitwan National Park include seeing one-horned rhinoceroses, a variety of birds, and wild monkeys. We may also spot the Royal Bengal tiger, if lucky, making it a perfect way to explore Chitwan National Park.

We can see over 540 species of birds during a 2-night, 3-day stay at Chitwan National Park, including the Bengal florican, Giant hornbill, lesser adjutant stork, Paradise flycatcher, and Kingfishers and eagles. Best time: October–March.

The most popular activity. Explore deep into the jungle to spot: one-horned rhinoceroses (Chitwan is one of the last habitats), Royal Bengal tigers (elusive, but sightings are possible), sloth bears, leopards, wild elephants, and gaurs (Indian bison).

Enjoy peaceful morning canoe rides on the Rapti River to observe mugger crocodiles and critically endangered gharials, which are fish-eating crocodiles.

It is one of the top activities while you stay at Chitwan National Park for two nights and three days. Explore the forest on foot with experienced guides for a deeper understanding of the natural world. Safety tip: Always travel with certified guides due to wild animals.
