Penetrate The Heart of the Jungle

Deploy deep into the subtropical lowlands of the Terai. The Chitwan Jungle Safari is a meticulously architected expedition into one of Asia’s most pristine wildlife sanctuaries. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1984, this 932-square-kilometer biosphere is the absolute domain of ferocious apex predators and rare megafauna.

Carved by the Narayani and Rapti rivers, this thriving ecosystem offers an adrenaline-fueled alternative to high-altitude trekking. Guided by our veteran jungle trackers, you will plunge into dense vegetation to track the endangered Greater One-Horned Rhinoceros, the elusive Royal Bengal Tiger, Sloth Bears, and Leopards. The canopy above hosts an incredibly vibrant avian population, boasting over 400 species of local and migratory birds.
