Royal Chitwan
National Park |
The Royal Chitwan National Park is situated in
the southern lowlands (the Terai) in Nepal. Chitwan (meaning
'heart of the jungle') is one of the finest wildlife reserves in
Asia. It is home to more than 700 species of birds and over 70
species of wild creatures including the endangered Royal Bengal
Tiger, elephants, one-horned white rhinos, sloths and garial
crocodiles, for example.
The park is easily reached from Kathmandu and Pokhara (the two
main tourist centers in Nepal). Visitors can travel by air,
overland or combine an overland journey with rafting part of the
way.
The local people belong to the Tharu tribe and there are
opportunities to visit Tharu villages and to enjoy programmes of
Tharu culture - as well as elephant safaris and canoe trips. The
scenery is a mixture of dense jungle forest, savannah and open
plains with some riverine wetlands. |
