Exploring stunning nature and wildlife during a jungle safari in Chitwan National Park is an incredible adventure in Nepal. Located in the heart of the country and with one of the last remaining populations of Bengal tigers, this is definitely one of Asia’s top safari experiences.Enter the park along the river during a canoe ride, trek through the dense, lush forest and immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of a variety of wildlife and visit the local Tharu villages for a unique cultural experience.

How to get to Chitwan National Park?

Getting to Chitwan National Park is pretty easy! You can fly into either Pokhara or Kathmandu and then take a tourist bus or a private driver to Sauraha which is (in my opinion) the best town to stay if you want to discover this area.

From Kathmandu to Chitwan takes about 6-7 hours with a tourist bus depending on traffic and road conditions and will cost about NPR 800 /€7. This is also the most affordable way to get there. Alternatively, you can also hire a car or private van, although this tends to be more expensive than taking the bus.

From Pokhara to Chitwan you can take several tourist buses departing a few times daily. The buses leave from Pokhara’s main bus station, about 2 km northwest of the lakefront. You can expect the ride to last 4-5 hours depending on road conditions and it will cost about NPR 800 / €7 for a seat.

The weather in Chitwan National Park

Chitwan National Park is close to the Bihar province of India, where extreme monsoons are common and December to February are not the perfect months to visit this area.

The best time to visit Chitwan National Park is from March to May or late September to November when the weather is generally bright and sunny, and the evenings are cooler. These conditions are perfect for a safari and spotting animals as there is plenty of wildlife activity in the park.

Hotels in Chitwan?

Visiting Chitwan National Park is an incredible experience; it’s the perfect destination for any wildlife enthusiast! There are a variety of accommodation options close to the park ranging from luxury tents and lodges to budget-friendly hostels.Many hotels near the park offer traditional Tharu décor, located just minutes away in villages such as Saurahh, Narayani, and Kasara. Whichever you pick, you will be able to enjoy delicious Nepali cuisine surrounded by lush wilderness and plenty of animals!
