Chitwan Jungle Safari Nepal

Nepal is most famous for its dramatic mountains, the starkly beautiful flat lands offer an exceptional wildlife experience.  The “Terai” flat lands belt of southern Nepal is home to Chitwan National Park and its spectacular jungles, wildlife, birds, and native plants.   The Jungle Safari at Chitwan, only 150m above the sea level, offers a contrasting adventure to mountaineering.  No visit to Nepal is complete without the Chitwan experience, a MUST SEE!  The tigers await you!

Established in 1973, Chitwan National Park is one of the very best parks in Nepal. The diverse flora and fauna are easily seen year-round, with each season offering its special delight. During the March-June season, a mysterious sun-lit fog covers the land.  The short grass time of Feb-May offers the best game-viewing season, and the autumn months are the best time to see gorgeous Himalayan views.

Bring your camera!  On our Chitwan Jungle Safari, you may see a one-horned rhino, royal Bengal tiger, wild elephant, deer, wild boar, sloth bear, leopard, bison, or jackal.  Many reptiles including the gharial crocodile live there, as do many species of the birds including hornbill, lesser florican, paradise flycatcher, and others.  A photographer’s haven, Chitwan is easily accessible, linked by river, highway, and air transport, with regular flights, river rafting, and car/tourist bus service from Kathmandu and Pokhara.  Please let us know your transportation preference.

Nature Walking in the Jungle:

Walk casually with a trained naturalist to learn more about this unique eco-system and view wildlife in their natural habitat.  Spot deer, rhino, sloth bear, and others.  Increase your knowledge and enjoy your up-close experience of the jungle flora and fauna!

Bird Watching:

View birds and listen to their exotic songs on an early morning walk through the bush, along the Rapti River.  You can see up to 450 species including the hornbill, lesser florican, and paradise flycatcher.  A naturalist will be available to answer all your questions.

Jungle Drive:

Most visitors stay more than 3 nights in Chitwan, leaving plenty of time for a jungle drive to view the many wonders.  For your best experience, drive your jeep slowly and leisurely through the jungle from Rapti River to Lama Lake.

Tharu Stick Dance:

Enjoy this ancient stick dance and learn about the Tharu culture.  This exciting tribal dance performed by Tharu men uses rhythmic drums and clashing sticks, originally used to show how to drive away wild animals and protect humans living in the jungle.   Enjoy this powerful dance after dinner at a nearby park location.

CHITWAN HOTEL OPTIONS:  To get you the best hotel value, Osho World Adventure suggests that you stay outside of the park hotels.  Staying inside the park is very expensive.  There is so much to see and do at Chitwan that we highly recommend staying 3 or more nights!   Please inquire for details to help us design a Chitwan Jungle Safari trip to be your most memorable vacation ever!

You can use your daily costume for Jungle Safari, however raincoat, boot and half pant is recommended. Don’t forget to bring camera.

Osho World provided something special

I have been to Nepal before, and spent many months trekking, with other guides and travel agents but, Osho World provided something special! Deepak and Prakash were fantastic, extremely warm and helpful. I would thoroughly recommended a trek with them as they are amazing Nepali people. The next time I came back, I am sure to arrange my trek with Osho World Adventure.
