Nepal’s premier wildlife park, home to endangered rhinos and Bengal tigers in the lowland Terai jungle.
Why Visit Chitwan National Park
Chitwan National Park protects a stretch of Nepal’s lowland Terai jungle, a stark contrast to the Himalayan peaks most visitors associate with the country, and shelters one of the last strongholds of the endangered greater one horned rhinoceros alongside Bengal tigers. Jungle safaris, canoe trips, and Tharu indigenous culture give the park a distinct identity within Nepal tourism.
