    How to get from Kathmandu to Chitwan?

    Chitwan is about 5-6 hours of road distance (~169 km/105 miles) and 15 minutes of aerial distance from Chitwan National Park. There are four options to get from Kathmandu to Chitwan National Park.

    Fly to Bharatpur Airport

    You can fly to Chitwan Airport from the domestic terminal of Kathmandu airport. This is a 15-minute short flight and costs about $100 for foreigners. From the airport, you can take a private taxi to Saraha, which costs about $20.

    Drive in a private vehicle

    You can hire a private car directly from Kathmandu to Sauraha, and a taxi can cost you about $70 to $90, depending upon your bargaining skills.

    Drive in a tourist bus

    You can get a tourist bus/van from Thamel, the bus park, or Kalanki to Chitwan’s bus park. From there, the drive to Sauraha is about 45 minutes, and you can take a private taxi again.

    The fare of a tourist bus is about $15 from Kathmandu to Chitwan. This bus usually leaves Kathmandu in the morning, and booking your trip in advance is recommended.

    Drive in a local bus

    Many local buses or microbuses leave daily from Kathmandu to Chitwan. While these local buses are crowded and not as comfortable as tourist vans, you can find many local buses throughout the day.

    The best place to find a local bus leaving for Chitwan is from Kalanki, and you don’t need to book in advance. The price for the local bus is $6 to $8, and from Chitwan bus park, you can take another local bus to Sauraha, which costs about $1. But again, the local buses are not so clean, crowded, and noisy.

    Things to do in Chitwan National Park

    Elephant Rides

    There are elephant-rearing units inside the Chitwan National Park, and one can ride on the back of an elephant at a certain charge. You will be accompanied by a local guide or Elephant masters who take care of your safety throughout the ride.

    In about 30 minutes of the ride, the elephant takes you around the forest and along the river bank, where you can see many other animals bathing and enjoying the sun. You can stop for a few seconds to capture one of such beautiful pictures.

    Jeep Safari

    On the outskirts of Chitwan National Park, we can hire a jeep for the rides. Option for private rides and group joining are available depending on the season and the time we go there.

    In about 4 hours, we can dive deep into the thickest of forests to spot some of the rare wildlife in the woods. The naturalist guide will explain to you all the animals and unique flora you see along the ride.

    Canoe Safari

    Now, this is an exciting activity, and we will be riding on a small wooden boat into Rapt River. You will have a boat driver to lead the boat as you see some Crocodiles basking in the sun. It’s, of course, a thrilling ride as you see crocodiles swimming alongside you. This is also a great time to spot some beautiful and unique birds.

    Tharu Cultural Tour and Dances

    Tharu are the indigenous group of people who still live in the forest of Chitwan. Their nomadic lifestyle takes you back to the last century when you can observe humans living in harmony with nature.

    Their way of life, tools, foods, and houses reflect the very old traditions of Nepal. Despite being close to Chitwan, the commercial capital of Nepal, they lead a very poor and basic lifestyle.

    Also, Tharu foods and dances are getting very popular in Nepal. The young ladies shall perform their cultural dance, the Tharu dress, and obviously, you can join them to learn a few moves.

    Elephant Breeding Centre and Museum visit

    In the outer circle of Chitwan National Park, you get to visit a small museum with a display of animals inside the park. Some organs of rare animals, such as horns, skins, teeth, etc., are displayed along with the information card of all the animals.

    Then, we will visit the breeding centre for elephants. The government has planned to increase the number of Asia elephants on this premises. For that, the adult Elephant is given assistance to mate and give birth while the younger children are given extensive care. You can see many elephant babies of different sizes and ages during the visit.

    Bird Watching

    The Chitwan National Park trip is the best spot to watch some rare migratory birds. If possible, we will provide you with binoculars for a close-up view of the birds, and the naturalist guide will explain their origin to you.

    Sunset Viewing

    The Sunset of the Terai area is very beautiful, especially when you observe it from the river shore. When you are tired from the numerous activities throughout the day, a beautiful sunset is the best possible way to end the Royal Chitwan National Park tour now.

    How to get from Kathmandu to Chitwan

    What is the possible extension to Chitwan Jungle Safari?

    Chitwan NP almost lies in the centre of Nepal, and many other nearby areas are accessible from Chitwan. You can drive to Pokhara, the city of lakes and caves, with about 4-5 hours (148 km/92 miles) ride from Chitwan.

    Or, you can get to Lumbini, the birthplace of Gautam Buddha about 6-7 hours (165 km/102.5 miles) from Chitwan. Within Chitwan, you can visit water parks, temples, the local market, Devghat, and also go rafting or Cruising in the Narayani River.

    Best Season/Months to do Chitwan Jungle Safari

    The best season to do Chitwan Jungle Safari is during the dry season. Typically, October to March is considered the dry season, as there is no rainfall and the skies are clear, giving you a long-range and clear view.

    During these seasons, wild grasses are trimmed or dried, making it easier to navigate. You can see various animals grazing or resting in their natural habitat from far and wide during these months.

    Likewise, touring Chitwan in April and May can be considered. The weather is warm, but you can still spot various wildlife during these months.

    However, we recommend that you avoid going on jungle safaris during the rainy season (June-September). There is a risk of flooding in Rapti River, and the weather will be sunny.
