The magical and wild atmosphere of the places allows you to enjoy the surrounding jungle while observing the sunset as very little place in the world. Staying at least two days in Chitwan National Park is a way to put all chances on its side to observe animals. The high herbs and the density of the jungle tend to hide them during the day, but the roaring and whistling of some animal species will not fail to make visitors oversaw. The most skilful will be guided during organized walks, and will feel the excitement when they pass on the territory of tigers and rhinos...

Savouring the very essence of nature takes all its meaning in Chitwan National Park, a visit between October and March is ideal, so the temperature does not exceed 30°C. From January to March, the high grasses of the Park are cut, so it is easier to distinguish or cross an animal at this time of year.
How to get there? To reach Chitwan, the most convenient is to take the tourist bus from Kathmandu (Thamel) or Pokhara (station of Mustang). Count between 6 and 7 hours, from where you leave. Good trip!
