Chitwan National Park

Good to know

Best time to go: November–March
Budget: $
Coordinates: Open in maps

Down at the base of the Himalayas, Chitwan protects one of the last untouched fragments of the Terai — the lush lowland belt that once ran along the foothills of Nepal and India. Its grasslands and sal forests shelter one of the final populations of the single-horned Asiatic rhinoceros and count among the Bengal tiger's last refuges. Chitwan became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984; dawn canoe trips reveal gharials and kingfishers.
