About Chitwan
Chitwan National Park, located in Nepal’s southern Terai lowlands, was the country’s first national park and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Spanning subtropical forests, grasslands, and river systems along the Rapti and Narayani rivers, Chitwan is renowned for its rich biodiversity — home to the endangered one-horned rhinoceros, Royal Bengal tigers, wild elephants, gharial crocodiles, and over 700 species of flora and fauna. The town of Sauraha serves as the main tourist hub, offering jungle safaris on elephant-back or 4WD jeep, canoe rides along the Rapti River to spot crocodiles and water birds, visits to the Elephant Breeding Center, and immersive experiences with local Tharu culture, including traditional stick dance performances. Chitwan’s blend of thrilling wildlife encounters and relaxed riverside charm makes it a favorite stop for families, nature lovers, and adventure travelers alike — and it’s conveniently located roughly halfway between Kathmandu and Pokhara, making it an easy addition to any Nepal itinerary.
Distance & Travel Time
Approx. Distance: 150–175 km via the Tribhuvan and Prithvi Highways
Approx. Travel Time: 5–6 hours by private car or jeep
The route follows the scenic Trishuli River valley through forested hills and farming villages before turning south toward the plains at Mugling. Roads are generally in good condition, though traffic delays are common around Kalanki when leaving Kathmandu Valley and near Mugling due to ongoing roadworks — so travelers should build in some buffer time.
