Trip Introduction: 5 Days Chitwan National Park – 4N/5D Package

Chitwan National Park has situated within south-central Nepal a sub-tropical lowland of the inner terai of Chitwan, Makawanpur, Parsa, and Nawalparasi districts. It lies between 27°16.56’- 27°42.14’ Latitudes and 83°50.23’- 84° 46.25’ Longitudes. The altitude ranges from 110m to 850m above sea level. The park is bounded by the Rapti and Narayani Rivers in the north, Parsa Wildlife Reserve in the east, and Madi settlements and India border in the south. Three major rivers Narayani, Rapti, and Reu, and their floodplains; and several lakes and pools are the major water sources of the park.

Being the first protected area of Nepal, it has a long history of over three decades in park management and rich experiences in nature conservation. Chitwan was a big game area for the royal families, Rana rulers, and their guests. The area comprising the Tikauli forest from Rapti River to the foothills of the Mahabharat extending over an area of 175 km2 was declared as Mahendra Deer Park in 1959. The area south of the Rapti River was demarcated as a Rhino Sanctuary in 1963. It was proclaimed as Royal Chitwan National Park with an area of 932 km2 in 1973. After the peoples’ revolution in 2006, the park’s name was changed to Chitwan National Park.

In recognition of its unique biological resources of outstanding universal value, UNESCO designated CNP as a World Heritage Site in 1984. In 1996, an area of 750 km2 surrounding the park was declared a buffer zone, which consists of forests and private lands including cultivated lands. The buffer zone contains a Ramsar Site – Beeshazari Lakes.

The park and the local people jointly initiate community development activities and manage natural resources in the buffer zone. The government of Nepal has made a provision of plowing back 30-50 percent of the parking revenue for community development in the buffer zone.

List of Animals Found in Chitwan National Park

Chitwan National Park offers safari enthusiasts an experience they won't soon forget. Situated in South Central Nepal, it boasts an astounding collection of mammal species ranging from rhinoceroses and Bengal tigers. However, visiting this preserve requires careful preparation; to make the most out of their visit.

Nepal's Terai national park, famed for its biodiversity. Dotted with dense forest and tall grasses as well as an array of flowers such as fig trees, eucalyptus trees, rhododendron plants and tree ferns in higher areas - while below this region lay rosewood and rhino apple trees among various shrubs such as hill glory bower and grey downy balsam plants - you'll be sure to discover an impressively varied environment here! It was Nepal's inaugural national park.

Chitwan National Park is home to more than 68 mammal species, such as the Bengal tiger that dominates its food chain, as well as leopards (spotted and clouded), wild boar, sambar deer and sloth bears - and more than 700 bird, reptile, amphibian and insect species! In addition to these incredible mammals are numerous birds, reptiles and insects living here.

Chitwan's most noteworthy draw is undoubtedly seeing one of its majestic felines: tigers! Though rarer than you might imagine, these felines can often be heard breathing deep within its lush forests by hearing rustles in their bushes or the sound of their breathing snouts. Even without seeing one, however, Chitwan still stands as an amazing experience full of wildlife and nature untouched by man.
