Elephant Safari
Blend in with Wild ElephantsIt is time to become an integral part of the life of Chitwan National Park!
The elephant safari is an amazing and truly unforgettable experience. Seated high on the back of a trained elephant you get the chance to explore the grassland and part of the Sal-forest area of the park. Because wild elephants roam freely in the park our wildlife doesn’t mind them (and us) being around. Most guests come back with a few dozen rhino close-ups and a big smile on their faces. You will be amazed at how close you can get if not to the rhinos then at least the deer! The Elephant Safari is part of every package we offer.
Elephant Breeding Centre
Did you know that the trunk of an elephant contains over 40,000 muscles? That is by far more than us humans have in our entire body! If you want to learn more about these truly great animals, their nature and habits, come and visit the Elephant Breeding Centre. The Centre was established in 1985 for the captive breeding of our endangered Asian elephants. There is a collection of interesting facts at the Centre’s Information Centre, you can see how elephants’ meals are prepared and observe how they feed.
Sunset Viewing
From the river bank of Rapti River
Part of every package is an easy guided evening walk to the sunset viewing point at the Rapti River. A number of beach bars provide what you need to bid farewell to an eventful day at Parkside Hotel. Relax with a beer, cocktail or lassi and watch the sun set in style.
Jungle Walk
Roam to experience wildlife closelyWe take you where nobody else goes! We start our very own guided Jungle Walk where the Canoe Tour ends. This is another excellent opportunity to see our four different kinds of deer, maybe a rhino, a wild bore, monkeys, a leopard, a sloth bear, and if you are extremely lucky the Royal Bengal Tiger.
When we creep up onto the dam overlooking the riverbed you will most probably see a gharial or a marsh mugger crocodile lying on the riverbank. You will also encounter countless birds and many smaller mammals that have made Chitwan National Park their home. The Jungle Walk is included in every package.
