Best of Chitwan Safari

In the morning we head overland from Kathmandu to the jungles of Nepal’s Terai region. The landscape and culture is totally different to that of the Kathmandu Valley and the alpine regions of the Himalayan range. The name the ‘Terai’ refers to the extensive plains in the southern part of Nepal – this area is the most northern extension of the great Gangetic plains of India, land that was won and lost in decades of struggle and shares both Indian and Nepali characteristics and culture..

You will drive through narrow winding gorges and deep river valleys past terraced fields tilled by generations of family members, reaching the vast plains and the vibrant jungle of the Chitwan National Park. This is a stunning overland journey and you will be able to relax and take in the incredible views of this diverse country from the comfort of your van. We will arrive at our hotel in the late afternoon after our overland trip from the mountains to the jungle. In the evening, before dinner, we will have a slide show showing us the culture of Nepal and highlights of the park, or a performance of the Tharu stick dance, a traditional local dance.
