Chitwan Jungle Safari Getaway: 1 Night Adventure

Ride the Prithvi Highway beside the Trishuli River from Kathmandu down into the flat Terai, with a roadside halt around Mugling.

Walk through a Tharu village on the edge of Chitwan National Park and see mud-walled houses, courtyards and daily routines.

Visit the Tharu Museum in Sauraha for the tools, dress and rituals behind what you see in the village.

Watch the sun set over the river, with the park's forest line behind it.

Sit through a Tharu stick dance and music performance after dinner.

Sleep one night in a deluxe hotel a short distance from the park boundary.

Join a dawn wildlife safari in the forests beside Chitwan National Park, where one-horned rhinos are regularly seen from a safe distance.

Look for some of the park's 500-plus bird species on the morning outing.

Have the guide, permit fees, tourist bus and meals in Chitwan covered in one price.
