Chitwan Jungle Safari

Best Season for the Chitwan Jungle Safari

The time period occurring between September to March will be excellent timing for undertaking the Chitwan jungle safari. The delightfully clear weather at this time makes it easy to spot the animals. April and May days are often very hot while June, July, and August rains make the jeep safari and canoeing quite impossible.

Ways to get to Chitwan National Park

You can get to the Chitwan National Park through a lovely road drive from Pokhara or Kathmandu which may take around 5 to 6 hours. You can choose to travel by public bus costing you around NPR 500 to 700 per tourist or also take a tourist bus at around NPR 1500 to 2000 per tourist.

Hiring a private car for 80 to 120 US Dollars can also be an excellent option for a comfortable and quick journey. Alternatively, flights are also available for you to Bharatpur after which you can take a small drive to the Chitwan park.

Arrangements we have made for you for your Sleeping and Eating

Himalayan Hope Treks has organized for you an inviting twin room at a three-star hotel near the park. Your room will be equipped with two single large beds, a private shower and toilet, hot and cold running water, and WiFi.

You will also have a vibrant green garden where you can relax at the sunset with a drink in your hand.

In addition, the hotel’s all-day dining restaurant will serve you delicious and fancy breakfasts, lunches, and dinners. If you fancy a drink, the bar in the hotel will also serve you international and local beverages but please keep in mind the drinks price is not included in our 2 nights 3 days Chitwan jungle safari package.

Our recommendation for your meal would be to try special Tharu specialties such as pigeon dried meat, Bhakka or the rice cake, Bagiya or vegetarian rice flour dumplings, Pakuwa, the grilled meat of wild boar, and Ghongi, the snail dish.

Entrance Fee for the Chitwan National Park

To get inside the Chitwan National Park, an entrance fee will have to be paid which of course Himalayan Hope Treks will take care of for you. The fee amount varies with the country of origin: NPR 150 for a Nepali people, NPR 1000 for a SAARC person, and NPR 2000 for a foreign tourist.

This permit will allow you to get in and out of the park territory several times a day but a new fee will have to be paid for the next day’s activities inside the park.

Is Travel Insurance a compulsion for Chitwan Jungle Safari?

2 nights 3 days Chitwan Jungle Safari don’t require travel insurance but we advise it so you will be entirely prepared for any possible issues that may arise.

Chitwan is humid and hot with the concern of mosquito-born ailments. Additionally, going through stomach troubles from trying out a new dish is also not uncommon.

All these can lead to the expense that may sometimes go beyond your control. With travel insurance, you can travel confidently with the flexibility of adding a few more days even.

What more you can do besides Chitwan Jungle Safari?

You can extend your 2 nights and 3 days Chitwan jungle safari by adding two more days so you can carry out some few more thrilling actions besides limiting to only jungle activities.

For example, you can rent a bike or cycle to tour around Sauraha or go 5 km further to Bharatpur to visit the Bis Hajari Tal (20,000 Lake). If hiking is your passion, you can head to the Uperdang Gadi Fort, and for a spiritual experience, a trip to Devighat is also an option.
