Jungle Walk and Bird Watching
If experiencing the wild plains of Nepal and
bird watching interests you, we suggested that
you take a Jungle walk with our naturalist.
This walk provides you with the ideal situation
of viewing the wild animals very close. Bird
Watching is always best on foot. Our specialists
will help you spot identify the different varieties
of birds, both local and migratory, that are
found in Nepal.

A slow canoe ride on the gentle rivers of the
lower Nepal plains is an experience that is
surpassed in few countries of the world. At
Jungle Safari Lodge, we put you in an authentic
hard carved Nepali dugout. Not only is the Canoe
Ride the best way to view the riverside scenery,
the ride is best for the sighting of crocodile
and other aquatic creatures.
Village Walk
The jungle Scenery, birds and animals alone
do not make up the unique features of Chitwan
National Park. The indigenous local people,
the Tharus, are also of immense interest. A
professional guide/expert naturalist will accompany
you through the area and help you gather insights
into the Tharu way of life.
Cultural Program
