Where to go, when to be there, and what to look for — our guide to the best photography locations in and around Chitwan National Park.
Best for: Mugger & Gharial Crocodiles, Egrets, Kingfishers, Rhinos at water
Position yourself downstream of where crocodiles are basking so the light is on their face.
Best for: Greater One-Horned Rhinoceros, Spotted Deer, Wild Boar
The golden grass in October-November creates extraordinary backgrounds for large mammal shots.
Best for: Leopards (rare), Jungle Cats, Langur Monkeys, Forest Birds
Move slowly and quietly. Stop often. The animals are there — you need patience to see them.
Best for: Herons, Storks, Painted Storks, Fish Eagles, Kingfishers
Use a canoe if possible — approaching from water disturbs birds far less than approaching on foot.
Best for: 50+ Bird Species, Butterflies, Dragonflies, Lizards
The garden is often overlooked. Some of the most striking photography opportunities are within the lodge grounds.
