Chitwan National Park, Nepal

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Chitwan National Park is Nepal's first national park and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, located in the subtropical lowlands of the Terai region in southern Nepal. It is one of Asia's best-preserved natural habitats, renowned for its healthy populations of one-horned rhinoceroses, Bengal tigers, gharial crocodiles, and wild elephants. Travelers visit for jungle safaris — on elephant back, jeep, or dugout canoe — as well as bird watching, with over 500 species recorded within the park. Chitwan offers a dramatic contrast to Nepal's Himalayan trekking routes and is a major draw for wildlife enthusiasts and nature lovers exploring the country.

Self-Launched Chitwan Jungle Safari: 2 Nights in Sauraha

A self-launched version of the classic Kathmandu-to-Chitwan jungle safari. Instead of a fully guided group tour, you book your own tourist bus down to Sauraha, check into a budget jungle lodge, and pick up the same activities locally — Tharu village walk, Rapti River sunset and canoe, a full-day jeep safari through Chitwan National Park, and an evening Tharu cultural dance. Everything here is bookable on arrival in Sauraha or a day ahead via GetYourGuide. Costs are rough backpacker estimates in GBP and assume you budget sensibly rather than go luxury.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Chitwan National Park, Nepal yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn a completely impractical skill from a local — fire spinning, competitive coconut opening, whatever — and become weirdly good at it."
