A short escape from Kathmandu into the jungles of Chitwan, combining wildlife, nature, and Tharu culture.
The Chitwan journey takes you from Kathmandu into the lowland Terai, where forests, rivers, grasslands, and wildlife create a completely different experience from Nepal's mountain destinations.
Spend a night around Sauraha, the gateway to Chitwan National Park, and experience the area's wildlife and local culture. Depending on the confirmed itinerary, the journey can include a jeep safari, canoe ride, jungle walk, and a visit to a Tharu village.
The trip is designed for travelers who want a short introduction to Chitwan without committing to a longer jungle stay.

A short journey into Chitwan where the experience goes beyond the safari. Explore the jungle, experience the riverside landscape, and get a glimpse into the culture of the Tharu communities.
With only one night in Chitwan, the itinerary is compact. A significant portion of both days is spent travelling between Kathmandu and Chitwan.
Chitwan is known for rhinos, crocodiles, birds, deer and other wildlife, but no specific animal sighting can be guaranteed, especially tigers.
Chitwan's Terai climate is generally warmer than Kathmandu and Pokhara, so lightweight, breathable clothing is useful.
Follow the instructions of your guide during safari and jungle activities. Wildlife encounters are unpredictable.
Comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen, insect repellent, sunglasses, and a camera are useful for the journey.
If Nepora offers a Tharu cultural performance separately, it is shown as an optional experience rather than part of the core package.
