Chitwan National Park is one of the most famous and oldest national parks, listed as Asia’s best National Park for wildlife, located in the subtropical lowlands of the Terai belt in south-central Nepal; it has been a World Heritage site since 1984. This National Park covers a pristine area with a unique ecosystem of global value. Chitwan National Park contains the Churia Hills, ox-bow lakes, and the Rapti and Narayani river floodplains.
The Chitwan National Park has 43 species of wildlife, including the elusive Royal Bengal Tiger, one-horned Rhinoceros, freshwater Gharial crocodiles, gaur (Asian bison), wild elephants, four-horned antelopes, Gangetic dolphins, striped hyenas, monitor lizards, pangolins, and pythons. Other wildlife includes sambars, barking deer, chital (spotted deer), sloth bears, palm civets, langurs, and rhesus monkeys.
Chitwan is also home to more than 450 bird species, including the Giant Hornbill, Bengal Florican, Lesser Florican, Black Stork, and White Stork. Other common birds seen in the park include Peafowl, Red Junglefowl, Herons, Kingfishers, Woodpeckers, Egrets, and Flycatchers.
Chitwan National Park is also home to 45 species of amphibians and reptiles, including the Marsh mugger Crocodile, Green Pit Viper, cobras, and various species of frogs and tortoises.
Chitwan National Park has many lodges, jungle resorts, and tented safari camps. You can reach the park by an overland journey of 190 kilometers from Kathmandu or Pokhara, or by a 20-minute flight to Megauli or Bharatpur, followed by a short drive. The ultimate way to reach it is with a surge of adrenaline and scenic floats: rafting on the Trisuli River. March to January is the best time to watch the birdlife here.
