Kathmandu · CHITWAN JUNGLE SAFARIS

The 15 Best Chitwan Safaris from Kathmandu

32 tours  ·  from $14 a head

Chitwan is six hours south into the Terai, and worth the drive for rhino, gharial and the odd tiger. These 15 compare two-night against three, jeep against canoe, and what the lodge price includes.

“Laxman - our guide was incredible. You can clearly see the passion he has for the beautiful animals that live within chitawan national park. He guided us through the national mark effortlessly, always happy to explain anything to us. We managed to spot rhinos and many other animals through his amazing guidance. We went during off season and ended up being the only ones during our stay. The Eden lodge staff looked after us amazingly. With the meals being delicious and always filling, our waiter was attentive and friendly. Every single staff member was positive and always happy to help. This made our stay very pleasant and an experience I…”

Review this 3-day Chitwan safari from Kathmandu for jeep rides, crocodiles, rhinos, Tharu culture, meals, lodging, and transport.

“This experience absolutely blew me away. You can’t ask for better service from everyone on staff. They picked me up at my hostel and took me to the bus stop and gave me my seat (and they picked me up from the bus stop and brought me back to my hostel afterwards - so easy and smooth!) The room was way bigger than I expected, it had heating (my visit was in January) and super hot showers. The food was different every day and every single meal was delicious. The activities were incredible and made my Chitwan experience completely unforgettable. From the Tharu dancing, the morning canoe ride, the jungle…”

“We had a great time. The canoe ride was good, plenty of birds to see make sure to wear muted colours. We saw a rhino in the woods and plenty more on the jeep safari which was a special highlight as the guides went out of their way to find the tiger bathing in the lake. The accommodation was comfortable and the lodge allowed us to move to a room when our AC broke”

“Good overall activity. There are however some issues to be addressed. Pro: The guide I had Krishna for the majority of the activities was excellent. From the local area, knew the area extremely well, answered all questions, and was generally good company. One of the best guides I have had on these type of activities. The jungle walk was a unique experience, and good fun, something I would definitely reccomend doing. The accomodation is a good standard, with polite helpful staff. I have seen a number of reviews state it's not luxurious. It is of a much higher standard than I expected, or have come across when doing these type…”
