Travel Guide
Beyond the national park, the Meghauli and Chitwan area has a rich collection of cultural and natural attractions worth exploring during your stay.
An excellent introduction to Tharu history, culture, and traditional life. Exhibits cover farming tools, traditional dress, instruments, and historical photographs of the Terai.
The government-run breeding programme for Nepal's working elephants. Learn about the animals and the welfare improvements being made. We visit as part of our 4-day tour.
The most important gharial conservation facility in Nepal. Hatchlings are raised here before release into the Narayani River. A humbling experience seeing these critically endangered reptiles up close.
A raised bank above the Rapti with views across the river and into the park's grasslands. Excellent at dawn and dusk for photography and for spotting animals at the water's edge.
A stretch of open riverbank popular for watching the sun set behind the Siwalik Hills. The colour of the water and sky at dusk here is extraordinary.
Dugout canoe trips are our standard river experience. But the Rapti also rewards simply sitting by the water at different times of day — boats or no boats.
