Activities

This is the most common way to see the park. There are half day and full day tours, usually with other visitors. Private safaris with a guide can be booked. The jeep drives along the paths, the driver and the guide will spot animals and stop so you can observe them. This is a good way to cover a lot of ground and see different habitats and the animals that live in them.

Come and experience the tranquility of Chitwan’s waterways. As you glide along the gentle rivers, you’ll be surrounded by the park’s lush greenery and diverse wildlife. Spot two different species of crocodiles basking in the sun, deer drinking at the water’s edge, and a myriad of bird species. Guided by experienced naturalists, the canoe ride offers a unique perspective of Chitwan’s rich ecosystem. 
There are a number of possible tour options available:
On a 30 minute or one hours canoe ride, you will experience the peace and quiet of the river and see nature and daily life of the banks. After the ride, you can see local life on a walk, cycle of drive back to your hotel. This could be combined with a visit to the elephants or some birdwatching to make a morning tour.
On a longer canoe ride of 2-4 hours, you will get further into the jungle. The sounds of nature will become clearer as all other noise disappears. Who knows what wildlife you might see along the banks. Crocodiles for sure and lots of bird life but maybe deer or monkeys. When you disembark, you will be deep in the jungle. There are a number of options for the rest of the day. A picnic lunch and a jungle walk and to join a jeep safari are just some of the possibilities. Talk to us about what would suit you best…

Whether you are a keen birdwatcher or just a nature enthusiast, the area in an around Chitwan is an ideal place to see a large variety to birds. There are over 650 species in the area, some more common than others but there are birds everywhere you look. If you are short of time, an early morning walk from your hotel can be a great way to see local birds. Longer tours can be on foot, by bicycle, by canoe or by jeep. We can find good places to take photos or just stop to watch and listen. 

Birdwatching is my hobby and my passion. If it is yours too, I can plan an special itinerary in different habitats over a number of days so that we have every opportunity to see as many species as possible. Please contact me as early as possible to give us time to plan and make arrangements.

If you are reasonably fit and feeling energetic, touring the area in and around Chitwan by bicycle is an option to consider. We can travel at your pace, stopping to look at things you want to investigate. A bicycle is quieter and more environmentally friendly than a jeep but can cover more ground than a walking tour. Most common is a half-day bike tour of 4/5 hours. However, full-day and longer options with camping or overnight stays are possible to arrange. A longer trip can take you out to Bishajari Taal (20,000 lake) or even Uppardhan Gadi.
