Chitwan safari & rafting in Nepal
Description of Chitwan safari & rafting in Nepal
This tour in Nepal serves up diverse culture and nature experiences in the Royal Chitwan National Park, one of Asia's most celebrated nature havens.
You'll see several of Nepal's most striking ancient settlements. Boudhanath's Buddhist shrines have led to the nickname 'Little Tibet', while Bhaktapur is renowned as a centre of wood carving. Other visits take in the beautiful 'nature city' of Pokhara, and a chance to explore Kathmandu. As you delve, discover Hindu temples, Buddhist monasteries, ancient irrigation systems, palace complexes plus dazzling local craftsmanship.
This wild and dramatic land offers pulse-quickening experiences too, beginning with an exhilarating river raft ride on the Trisuli River, shooting Grade 2-3 rapids. Wildlife encounters include a jeep safari in the Royal Chitwan National Park in search of rhinoceros, exotic deer, crocodiles, sloth-bear plus two iconic big cats – leopards and Royal Bengal Tiger. For bird-watchers, there are over 400 species – such as eagle, parrots, peacocks and kingfisher.
A trek to Sarangkot, meanwhile, delivers breathtaking views of silvery mountains including Machachapuchare (Fish-tail), Annapurna South, Himchuli and Dhaulagri Mountain, as well as outstanding views of Fewa Lake.

Planet and people
Our trekking company is wholly committed to responsible tourism. On our treks & tours, tourism helps improve the standard of living for the local people by generating income for the local community through purchasing of local products such as fresh fruits, handloom products, meat, drinks, and fresh vegetables and providing job opportunities.We employ well-trained & experienced local tour guides. Our guides will give a briefing about responsible tourism e.g. rubbish disposal, giving food scraps to domestic animals, paying the porters to carry out trash, using a fire pit when camping, not picking flowers, using kerosene instead of firewood, avoiding bathing/washing clothes in streams, using local tea houses or camping sites. In addition the small group size of 4-10 people helps to minimise the impact on the environment.
On this tour, we stay at hotel / Jungle Resort operated by local communities such as 3* hotel or similar in city areas and Island Jungle Resort or similar in Chitwan Park. The resort manages garbage properly; minimize using fire-wood, arrangement comfort accommodation for visitors.
