What our travellers think of their stay

At 160km from Kathmandu, Chitwan is Nepal's most famous national park, where you can spot a wealth of animals including rhinos and the elusive Bengali Tiger.

My suggestion

If you're planning to tour Chitwan, sort out any reservations in advance, as it works out cheaper.

The oldest national park in Nepal, it occupies an area of almost 1000km² and is home to a number of endangered species. Chitwan, in Nepalese, means "heart of the jungle". An excellent meas of discovering Nepal and its unspoilt nature.

My suggestion

If you choose to stay in Chitwan for a few days, why not stay in one of the guesthouses along the Rapti River? Sunset is an opportunity to watch the animals as they come to drink water from the opposite bank.

My suggestion

Sauraha is a small town on the eastern edge of the Chitwan National Park. A quiet little town, it's a great place from which to explore the park for a few days.
