Best 3 Days Tour In Nepal: Chitwan Jungle Safari Tour Review

I did a canoe trip and jungle safari in Chitwan with Kishor, the owner, and his guide. Thanks a lot for the passion and love for his work. I was able to see rhinos, tigers, and many other animals. I highly recommend this agency as they not only organize a standard tour like the others, but they try to make your stay in Chitwan and Nepal the best possible by pleasantly helping you.

I have spent many months planning a family vacation. Mr. Kishor spent many hours helping me plan and was very helpful in understanding what I wanted. We spent a full day in the jeep with a guide and driver and got to see more animals than any other group. Kishor is cautious with the environment and animals and has a great deal of knowledge. We had a great day, and the river's picnic was well prepared and added to our experience.

Do not waste your money and time searching for another travel agency. Just email Kishor at Nepal Tour and Trekking Service P. Ltd to plan a custom tour.

Chitwan jungle safari has been enticing travellers to Nepal for decades.  Years and years ago, this jungle was an intrepid and dangerous place to visit, with only the bravest of tourists setting foot there. We were told stories of elephant attacks on tribal villages and how our guide helped his clients up a tree to hide from a leopard below for a full day! 

Now, for better or for worse, it is a tourist hotspot and a must visit destination on any trip to Nepal.

On arrival for your Chitwan jungle safari you may question what you’re doing here.  The town itself is pretty enough, set along the Narayani River, with dusty roads and sunset views.  It is, however, not the jungle paradise you would probably expect from this UNESCO world heritage status national park. 

Venture further down the river though and you will find yourself in dense, thick jungle that is just teeming with wildlife.  A Chitwan jungle safari is not to be missed and will be a highlight of any trip to Nepal – whether you get to see the elusive creatures or not!

About Chitwan National Park

Chitwan National Park is the first national park in Nepal. The sad story behind Chitwan jungle is that after it received national park status, the indigenous tribes that made their homes and livelihoods here were forced to leave the jungle. 

Chitwan National Park was sadly a popular hunting ground for many years, drastically reducing the number of rare rhinos, tigers and elephants found here.

Due to careful conservation efforts (spurred on by tourist activity) numbers are on the rise. So although tourism is something to be cautious of in areas like this, if you’re careful about the tours you choose then you can rest in the knowledge that your money is going back into the jungle and communities that surround it.

Where Is Chitwan National Park

Chitwan jungle is located in south-central Nepal in the districts of Nawalpur, Parsa, Chitwan and Makwanpur. The Narayani river forms a natural boundary to human settlements, leaving the forest area clear of human inhabitants.  

Chitwan National Park Weather

Chitwan has a tropical monsoon climate with high humidity all through the year.  You really will notice a change in temperature here, especially if you’ve just come from the cooler mountain areas.  Make sure you keep a bottle of water (or three!) on you at all times!

The area is located in the central climatic zone of the Himalayas, where monsoon starts in mid June and eases off in late September.  There is a lot of rain here, which is what causes the dense jungle and brings huge amounts of wildlife to the area.

The Best Time For A Chitwan Jungle Safari

From October to March, the skies are relatively clear and the average daily temperature is around 25°C.  This is by far the most comfortable time of year to visit Chitwan jungle.

However, the best time to see animals is late January to March , This is when the Phanta grass is slashed down by the villagers, which obviously improves visibility drastically and increases your chances of spotting the wildlife that makes it home here.

We went trekking through Chitwan jungle when the impressive grass was towering above us and it was quite an experience, and we still saw tonnes of wildlife, so don’t let it put you off visiting at different times of year!

How To Get To Chitwan National Park

Kathmandu To Chitwan

Getting from Kathmandu to Chitwan is relatively easy.  To get from Kathmandu to Chitwan you can take the tourist bus that leaves from the Thamel end of Kantipath in Kathmandu at 7.30am.  Make sure you get there with time to spare, so that you can get your bags on the bus and get settled before it leaves.  

It should cost around Rs500-Rs600, depending on who you book through.  If you book your bus from Kathmandu to Chitwan through your hostel then it isn’t unusual for them to send someone to take you to the bus, so there is no way you can get lost!

Going from Kathmandu to Chitwan should take around five to seven hours, and there will be comfort stops along the way.  The tourist bus has AC and is a lot more comfortable than the local bus, with plenty of room for your bags and a lot more leg room!

Pokhara To Chitwan

From Pokhara, tourist buses depart from the tourist bus stand at 7.30am and take a similar length of time to reach Chitwan. 

It is possible to get from Kathmandu to Chitwan or from Pokhara to Chitwan by local bus and taxi, but it won’t cost much less and will be far less comfortable. 

We used local buses a lot while in Nepal, and always loved travelling with the locals and being more immersed in the culture, but we were advised by a Nepalese that local buses aren’t always the safest, with drivers paid to cover ground quickly rather than safely. 

When you see the winding mountain roads with no safety bollards you will understand why this is a scary thought! Apparently it’s pretty scary for the drivers too, and it is rumoured that a lot of them drink to steady their nerves before the long journeys.

What To Expect From A Chitwan Jungle Safari

Now that the boring information is out of the way, let’s have a look at what you can really expect from a Chitwan jungle safari. 

Chitwan Jungle Safari Tours: Your Options

We opted for a walking jungle safari because we weren’t sure about the treatment of elephants used for the elephant jungle tours.  We recommend that you do some thorough reading on the issue before you decide on the best way for you to see Chitwan jungle.

You have several options available to you when it comes to booking your Chitwan jungle safari.

Elephant Rides On A Chitwan Jungle Safari

You could book a jungle elephant ride, where you get to explore Chitwan jungle on the back of an elephant.  Obviously it sounds pretty amazing, to be up close and personal with these incredible creatures, and the other advantage to this is that you get to ride above the jungle itself, giving you a better chance of spotting some of the wildlife. 

The downside is the obvious use of animals for tourism (like we said, do some research and decide what you feel comfortable with).

The other potential downside (again, do your own research), is that we were told the elephant jungle safaris in Chitwan don’t take you across the river to the more dense jungle.  There is plenty of wildlife on the inhabited side of the river, but it may be something to consider if you wanted to be a little more intrepid!

Chitwan Jungle Safari Walking Tour

Another option available is a walking safari in Chitwan jungle.  It is law that two guides accompany you into the jungle for your own protection.  On a walking tour make sure you request to be taken across the river, so that you can explore the dense jungle there.

Jeep Safari Tours

They also do jeep safari tours, though we aren’t really sure how much wildlife you actually see from a loud car racing around the jungle! Especially when our guides were worried that our footsteps were too loud!

How To Book A Chitwan Jungle Safari

It’s very easy to book your jungle safari. Just about everywhere you go will be selling tours, as it’s obviously the best thing to do in Chitwan and the main reason that tourists visit.

If you don’t like the sound of what your accommodation is offering, then just take a walk down the main street and ask around there. Most places will tailor a package to your needs, so make sure you’re clear about what you want to get from your jungle safari.

We booked through our accommodation at Chitwan Village Resort and the guides were experienced and professional throughout the day.

A walking tour for two, with a canoe ride there and back, two guides and a packed lunch (not including water) cost us $80. Prices may vary depending on who you book through, how many people are on the tour and which kind of tour you take.

What Will A Typical Day Be Like?

Our Chitwan jungle safari started before sunrise.  We climbed into traditional wooden canoe and were rowed down river in the breaking dawn, with the sounds of the jungle just waking up as our soundtrack. 

It was an incredibly magical moment in itself, but as we were spotting various beautiful birds and the odd crocodile tail, we suddenly became aware of something much bigger and more colourful watching us from the bushes.  

It was a Bengal tiger.  The guides were just as excited as us, as we watched quietly from the canoe.  It seemed to stalk us down the river, keeping pace with our canoe and weaving in and out of the bushes on the river side.  It an incredible experience, one that will stay with me forever.

The guides predicted that it was an old male, perhaps the very same one that had recently been foraging for scraps in the Tharu village.  Apparently the tigers never cross the river, and they thought this one was too old to hunt and had come in search of an easier food source. Eventually he got bored of us and disappeared into the jungle beyond.

I was thankful that we were getting out of the canoe over the other side of the river to the tiger. 

Before we set off on our jungle safari walk, the guides briefed us. If there was a bear or a tiger we were to make ourselves big and stand our ground.  If there was a rhino we should climb a tree. If there was an elephant we were basically screwed.

We were interested to learn that the guides were most afraid of the elephants.  Our older guide told us that years ago, when people still lived inside Chitwan jungle, he used to take tourists to stay in the jungle at the camps. One day they went out for a jungle safari, and when they returned the entire village was ransacked, the villagers all killed by a herd of elephants.  They were terrified of them, and wanted to avoid them at all costs.  

A little more cautious than before, we set off through Chitwan jungle, slashing our way through huge grasses.  I felt pretty vulnerable, walking around completely unprotected, knowing that we were very much in the animal’s world here.  Our guides pointed out tiger footprints as we went, though luckily our morning sighting was our first and last of the day.

We saw deer and picked fresh limes to add to our bottled water.  Our guides pointed out various different types of fauna as we went, knowing everything about the jungle.  The heat was intense and so incredibly humid as we got further into the jungle. It made walking quite hard work. 

The guides hushed our footsteps as we rounded the corner and watched as a rhino trotted away through the undergrowth.  We were close enough to make out the armoured plates of his back, and his single horn as he escaped our cameras.

For lunch we climbed a tree that looked over the river and jungle beyond and scanned for wildlife as we ate.  We watched a herd of elephants grazing in the long grass (and were pretty chuffed to be at such a safe distance!). 

We also spotted a crocodile over the other side of the river, and our guides were quick to scuttle down the river bank and warn some fishermen who were knee-deep in the murky water.  

During the afternoon we covered some different terrain.  There were several paths cut through the long grasses, which we cautiously followed, listening out for any unfamiliar sounds that could signal danger. 

As we neared the end of our day the guides pointed out some ant homes that had been destroyed and suggested it could mean a bear had been foraging there.  They were right, and as we rounded a corner we came face to face with a black bear. It was only metres away, happily tucking into an anty dinner.  

My heart felt like it was beating out of my chest, but luckily the bear hadn’t seen us and just carried on eating.  The guides pushed me forward, encouraging me to get a good photo. I didn’t know that behind me they stood poised with their huge sticks in the air, obviously ready to put up a fight should they have to.  

Then, as I was shakily trying to focus the camera, the guide’s phone went off on full volume, like something out of a comedy sketch.  Fight or flight kicked in and I got ready to run (the exact opposite of what I was meant to do!)

The bear turned and stared right at us, stood up on its hind legs as though it was preparing to attack, but then seemed to change its mind and went galloping off into the jungle.  I felt as though we had just escaped death, but our guides made us chase the bear, hoping for another glimpse!  

Perhaps they aren’t that dangerous after all, or perhaps the guides were happy to get rid of us after a day together in the jungle!  Luckily, it was much faster than us and was nowhere to be found.

We returned by canoe, pretty exhausted but with a camera full of photos and an even greater sense of wonder at this incredible country.

Spotting Tigers

Tigers are elusive and mysterious creatures, which makes it all the more exciting when you spot them. Unfortunately, though, tiger sightings at Chitwan National Park are incredibly rare and you’ll be very lucky to see one. Our guide informed us that there are usually only a couple of tiger sightings all year, so make sure you go for the other wildlife and not just the tigers.

If it’s tiger sightings that you’re chasing then why not plan your trip around them? There are several places in Nepal and India where tiger sightings are possible, so plan to visit several of these national parks to increase your chances of seeing these magical creatures.

Ranthambore National Park and Panna National Park in India both offer great opportunities for tiger spotting, so split your time between Nepal and India to give yourself a better chance of getting that sighting!

Chitwan Jungle Safari Essentials

Wear dull colours.   This is pretty obvious I guess, but I packed an overnight bag with only some red and black trousers to wear, so I felt pretty stupid when the guide explained about the bright colours scaring away the animals.  Learn from my mistake!

Bring water.   I thought two big bottles of water was plenty, and didn’t want to be lugging around any more than that.  I was wrong, two bottles was not plenty and I was thirsty by lunchtime, trying to ration my dwindling water resources. It is VERY hot in Chitwan jungle, be prepared!

Wear decent shoes.   A pair of walking shoes like this will be perfect.  You need your feet covered, and preferably your legs too.  There are a lot of spiky bushes and grasses out to get you, and you never know when you might need to climb that tree!

Wear sun cream and bring something to cover up.  Most of the time you’ll be in the shade of the trees, but there are times when you’ll be in that boiling hot sun, so make sure you’re sorted just in case. 

Bring mozzie repellant.   They are everywhere!

Bring some cash with you .  The ATMs in Chitwan charge you to withdraw, so you can save a bit of money by being prepared.

Where To Stay For A Chitwan Jungle Safari

Chitwan Village Resort

We stayed at Chitwan Village Resort and loved it. It’s smaller than a lot of the posher-looking resorts (and cheaper too), they were friendly and welcoming and couldn’t do enough to help us with our stay.

The rooms themselves were basic, with their own bathrooms. There’s a lovely garden with seating areas for relaxing, and it’s a short walk from the main strip so it’s quiet in the evenings.

One of the things we loved about this place is that they didn’t sell elephant jungle safaris when we stayed. I’ve since looked on their website and it now suggests they do. Whether or not this is out of date I’m not sure. We booked a full-day walking tour through them and found the guides outstanding in every respect. We couldn’t recommend them highly enough.

Evergreen Ecolodge

We heard great things about this eco-lodge in Chitwan National Park. It’s committed to being as eco-friendly as possible. Don’t expect luxury, but if you’re happy to embrace the ethos then this is a great forward move in the battle to clean up Nepal.

Where To Eat In Chitwan National Park

Kc’s restaurant.

KC’s is a favourite amongst tourists, with a menu ranging from traditional Nepali cuisine to pizzas and pasta. It’s a good place to head in the colder months as it has a fireplace to warm you.

Friends Café

This rooftop restaurant is a little quirky and very friendly. Come here for an easy going place to hang out at any time of the day, they have plug sockets too so it’s a great place if you need to work! They do mainly Mexican and Italian dishes here.

Sweet Memory Restaurant

A place that prides itself on home cooking. They serve great momos here and lots of different curries. It’s hidden down a side alley so you might have to do a little searching to find it!

Other Things To Do In Chitwan (That Don’t Involve Jungle Safaris!)

If you don’t really fancy a Chitwan jungle safari then that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t visit this incredible place. There are quite a few other attractions here, such as hiring bikes and cycling to a local nature reserve or exploring the cultural village of Tharu. You can read about them and more in our detailed post on the best things to do in Chitwan National Park.

Chitwan National Park was one of my most-anticipated stops while I was visiting Nepal .

I’d experienced wildlife safaris before in Tanzania , and though I was lucky enough to see the Big Five and much more, Chitwan would be a new experience altogether.

The terrain was wildly different, and the animals were a world away. One horned rhinos and the unique gharial crocodile can all be seen here… and I could not wait to see them for myself.

If you are planning a Chitwan jungle safari, but aren’t sure where to start, this article will help you. Here we will cover where to go and what to see in Chitwan, what (and what not) to wear on safari, as well as top safari tours.

Planning a Chitwan Jungle Safari

Chitwan National Park was the first national park of Nepal.

Established in 1973, this expansive park covers 932 km² of lush subtropical terrain. Nestled in the Inner Terai lowlands, it offers a diverse landscape ranging from peaceful river valleys to majestic Churia Hills.

Chitwan National Park is filled with wild and endangered animals. From the mighty one-horned rhinoceros, to the regal Bengal tiger, you’ll likely encounter the many majestic creatures that call this park home.

If you have the chance to go on a Chitwan National Park safari, you should absolutely do it! In this guide, I will tell you exactly how to plan and what to expect in Chitwan National Park.

When to go on a Chitwan National Park safari

If you are able to arrange it, the best time to visit Chitwan National Park is in April and May. Though these months are hot, reaching up into the low triple digits, trust me – it will be worth it!

This is because April and May are the end of the dry season in Nepal . This means that animals are much more likely to come out into the open, looking for watering holes, rather than staying hidden in the jungle.

If you want to visit during a more comfortable temperature range, then October to early March is the best for you. Temperatures will sit around the mid-70s, but be forewarned. Though you are more comfortable, you may not see as many animals.

Winter, on the other hand, gets downright cold. January is the chilliest month, skimming freezing at night.

I booked my safari in Chitwan National Park within the first half of May. While it definitely was hot and extremely sunny each day, I wouldn’t change that decision. I saw more animals than expected and we had long, dry days.

Pro Tip: This Chitwan jungle safari follows the exact route I took. It includes a walking safari, Jeep safari, and dugout canoe ride. Swipe my exact itinerary. BOOK YOUR JUNGLE SAFARI HERE!

What You’ll See On Safari in Chitwan National Park

The park is home to 68 species of mammals. The two most famous residents of the park are easily the Bengal Tiger and the Greater One-horned Rhino. Note that the rhinos and tigers are found in two different areas of the park.

You’ll likely see various hooved animals, including sambar, hog deer, barking deer, spotted deer, and wild boar.

The park is also home to 55 species of amphibians and reptiles. Gharial crocodiles were the stars for me, and they swam beside my canoe as we glided through the Rapti River.

Chitwan National Park is also home to nearly 600 species of birds, many of which you will see on your safari.

If you choose to take a walking safari, which is included on my recommended Chitwan tour , you will also see untamed plant life, creeping vines, and towering trees up close.

Where Is Chitwan National Park

Chitwan National Park is located in the southern part of central Nepal, close to the border of India.

Kathmandu to Chitwan Distance

Chitwan National Park is over 105 miles away from Kathmandu , Nepal’s capital city. It will take nearly five hours to drive to Chitwan via rental car, but can take longer through other transportation modes.

More on those below.

Ways to get there

You have a few options when deciding how to travel to Chitwan National Park.

Take a tour.

The easiest (and arguably best) way to get to Chitwan national Park is on a tour.

The park has regulations that prohibit visitors from walking the park without a guide anyway, so in my opinion it is easiest to book a tour before arriving.

You can either book a larger tour of Nepal that includes a stop in Chitwan, lodging, transpiration nd more, or you can book a tour of Chitwan only, including transportation and lodging.

Let’s break down each option.

⫸  10-Day Adventure Sports Tour in Nepal

I one-thousand percent recommend this  10-day adventure sports tour  for anyone who wants to incorporate their Chitwan jungle safari with excursions in Pokhara and Kathmandu, too. loves nature, culture, and an adrenaline rush!

I can  personally vouch  for every activity on this tour!

It is the exact route I followed and hits all the stops you have seen me post about on this site. The only difference between this tour and mine is that I added on an ultralight flight, too.

• On this tour, you’ll experience a jungle safari to see rhinos and elephants in Chitwan National Park .
• You’ll ride a dugout canoe and see gharial crocodiles.
• Adventurers, you’ll get to go bungee jumping and paragliding in Pokhara and ride the steepest zipline in the world.
• And, you’ll see cultural sites in Pokhara and Kathmandu.

I could not recommend this experience more!

⫸  3-Day Chitwan National Park Safari from Kathmandu

If you just need a tour to and from Chitwan, minus the rest of Nepal, then I recommend  this 3-day Chitwan tour .

It originates in Kathmandu, and all transportation is provided via Tourist Bus to and from Chitwan. (Be forewarned, the bus ride is long! 7 or 8 hours, depending on traffic and road conditions.)

It also includes all meals and accommodations in Chitwan, near the park, as well as entrance fees and activities within the national park.

You’ll get up close and personal with gharial crocodiles, and enjoy a guided Jeep tour. Lastly, tackle short jungle hikes as well as a cultural show from the Tharu tribe.

Chitwan was one of the highlights of my entire trip, and this tour won’t disappoint. Seeing the one-horned rhinos and gharial crocodiles was incredible, and the lush green jungle was so lush and beautiful.

Ride the Tourist Bus.

Every morning, multiple tourist buses leave from Kathmandu to Sauraha, which is near one of the park’s 12 entrances.

When booking the tourist bus, know in advance that the road is difficult for the bus to drive. There are large unpaved sections and that will nearly double the transportation time.

It can take around eight hours, give or take, to reach the park by bus, depending upon traffic, road construction, and weather.

Book a Rental Car.

From Kathmandu , Chitwan National Park is reachable in under five hours by car.

From Pokhara and Lumbini, Chitwan National Park is a roughly four to five hours drive.

Pro Tip: I always get the best rental car prices here. If you are considering booking your own car to self drive, BOOK YOUR RENTAL CAR HERE!

The park is easily accessible from most of the larger cities of Nepal. Be aware that some sections of the road are unpaved, though they are passable by car if you take it slow.

What To Pack for a Chitwan Jungle Safari

The key to comfort on a Chitwan jungle safari is layers. While I do have a complete Nepal packing list available, I want to talk a bit more specifically about what to pack for your safari in Chitwan.

Here is everything you need for your trip.

Comfortable earth-tone pants

These thick comfy leggings are a great option! Choose them in dark green, brown, or grey tones to blend in to your surroundings. Get yours here!

Rugged trekking sandals

These trekking sandals have crossed six continents with me and are still going strong! They are super sturdy and perfect for a walking safari. Get yours here!

A loose light t-shirt

Grab a few basic tees in earth-toned colors. They are excellent for keeping the sun off of your shoulders on long days in the jungle. Get yours here!

A moisture wicking tank top

Prefer to go sleeveless? This moisture wicking tank will let your body breathe and help to regulate your temp even in hot weather. Get yours here!

Your favorite wide brim hat

This wide brim hat is the exact one I am wearing in the photos on this page. It is crushable and packable and protects you from the bight sun. Can’t recommend it enough! Get yours here.

A scarf or shawl

Be sure to pack a lightweight scarf in case you need extra sun coverage. I used one to cover my shoulders while on the walking portion of the safari one day, and I was glad to have it. Get yours here!

Hiking boots

If you prefer boots or shoes over sandals, these are the ones I recommend. They are lightweight and waterproof, which means they can even survive the Rapti River. Get yours here!

A Foldable Day Pack

Bring a tiny, foldable day pack for your safari in Chitwan. It is perfect for stashing your photo gear an water bottle, as well as other extras you may bring. Get yours here!

A reusable water bottle

I am obsessed with this Hydroflask bottle and couldn’t recommend it more! It keeps cold drinks icy cold and hot drinks steaming hot. In Chitwan, you’ll be thankful for those icy sips on hot days. Get yours here!

The sun shines strong in Nepal, especially in spring and summer. Don’t forget your sunglasses . I love these ones because they are lightweight and more comfortable on the nose than the glasses with rubber pads. Get yours here.

You do not want to go on a Chitwan jungle safari without sunscreen ! I saw plenty of red, sun-burned people and – better to not be one of them. Choose this eco-friendly option if you can. Get yours here!

What not to pack for a Chitwan jungle safari

When planning for your safari in Chitwan National Park, you will want to be very mindful about what colors you pack.

Earth-tones and muted colors that blend with the natural environment are best.

Bright unnatural colors, like vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows, should be avoided. This is because the bright colors can scare or startle the animals, and they may be more likely to stay hidden if you’re wearing them.

Your guide will likely warn you the day before about color considerations for your tour. Unfortunately, there are always people who ignore that advice.

Don’t be that person!

Where To Stay Near Chitwan National Park

If you choose to self drive or travel to Chitwan without a tour, you are gonna need a place to stay. While it is not possible to stay inside the park, there are a number of options in the small towns nearby.

I stayed at the Parkland Hotel in Chitwan and I highly recommend it! If I return, I would absolutely book a stay here again.

The grounds are lush and green. There is a swimming pool on site, which is amazing in the hotter months. The staff is all super friendly and helpful. And, the rooms are comfortable.

They serve buffet-style meals, which accommodate both meat eaters, vegetarians, and a number of other dietary needs. My only criticism is that they could have served dal bhat and other Nepali staples, but hey – I ate well so no compaints!

FAQs on Chitwan National Park

Still have questions about taking a safari in Chitwan National Park? Let’s tackle those below.

How many days do you need in Chitwan National Park?

I recommend a minimum of three days in Chitwan (3d/2N) so that you get to take a safari drive, a Rapti River canoe ride, and a walking safari. With more than three days, you could even consider longer visits to the elephant breeding center, gharial breeding center, and more.

Basically, the longer you stay in Chitwan, the more wildlife you will get to see.
