Meals: Lunch, Dinner

Chitwan National Park (B/L/D)

Have breakfast and get ready for a day full of safari activities in the royal Chitwan National Park. Take a canoe trip along the Rapti River, which is ideal for bird watching and for seeing the two rare species of crocodiles -the Marsh Mugger and the fish eating Gharial. From there, you will do one of the following activities. If you go for a jungle walk, you will search for the park’s elusive and amazing Rhinos, Royal Bengal Tigers, leopards, monkeys, crocodiles and more. Bring your camera so you don’t miss out on any opportunities to photograph these beautiful creatures.

You could also visit the Elephant Breeding Centre, before having lunch. In the afternoon, go on a jeep safari which will give you an excellent opportunity to see different kinds of deer, rhinoceros, wild boar, monkey, leopard, sloth bear and the Royal Bengal Tiger (if you are lucky). You may also encounter many other smaller mammals that have made Chitwan their home. Later, return to your accommodation to rest from your full day of adventuring. Overnight in Chitwan National Park accommodation.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
