Chitwan is Nepal’s most famous national park and home to the elusive Bengal tiger, leopard, deer, sloth bear and the one-horned rhinoceros. As an extension to any trekking expedition, a jungle wildlife safari provides a complete contrast and is a great way of experiencing a very different region of Nepal.
Established in 1973, Royal Chitwan National Park was the first national park in Nepal. Located in the lowlands of Nepal on the southern border with India, the landscape here is in sharp contrast to that of the north. The towering mountain peaks of the Himalayas have been replaced with luscious green meadows and thick broadleaf forests.
Chitwan is home to some of the most varied and rare wildlife in Nepal – from tigers and endangered gharial, to over 500 species of bird and even king cobra. A visit to the park after a trekking adventure is a great way to round-off a school trip to Nepal.
Home to the highest mountain range in the world, Nepal offers the ultimate test for pupils, with the Himalayas providing the most awe inspiring backdrop for any overseas challenge.
Combine a community project with a multi-day trek in Nepal's stunning Annapurna region. Enjoy one of the most amazing panorama sunrise views in the Himalayas before a visit to Chitwan National Park.
