Established in 1973, Chitwan National Park covers an area of 952 square kilometers and is home to over 700 species of wildlife. Most notably, the park protects endangered animals such as the Royal Bengal tiger, one-horned rhinoceros, sloth bear, and Asian elephant. Bird enthusiasts will also be thrilled to spot over 500 species of birds, including the rare Bengal florican and giant hornbill.

A visit to Chitwan wouldn’t be complete without a jeep safari or elephant-back jungle safari, which allows close-up views of wildlife in their natural habitat. Along the way, trained naturalists and guides share fascinating facts about the park’s ecosystem and conservation efforts.
