Glimpse of Chitwan: 2 Nights 3 Days Tour

Chitwan National Park was the first National Park created in Nepal.  Covering an area of 952.63 km² (367.81² miles), the park was established in 1973 and was made a World Heritage Site in 1984. Lying in the south of Nepal, the altitude ranges from 100m (330ft) to 815m (2,674ft) in the Sivalik Hill area. The Narayani-Rapti river system protects the area in the north and west, while to the east, it borders Valmiki National Park, a tiger reserve in India.   With its headquarters in Kasara,  gharial and turtle conservation breeding centers were established, and more recently, a breeding center for Gyps vultures was also established.

On the downside, traditionally, this area belonged to the Tharu ethnic communities, who were forced off of the land when it became a protected area.  As most Tharu families had to leave their land, they became landless and fell into poverty – something that happened along the southern belt of the country as protected areas spread.

Today some locals have established lodges and hotels or work as jungle guides, spreading their knowledge of the wildlife and countryside.

There are many hotels, ranging from the deluxe to the budget, and a range of activities to enjoy inside and outside the park boundaries.  Chitwan is also a peaceful place to relax and explore (outside the park) yourself.
