Chitwan National Park, Nepal’s first national park and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a biodiversity hotspot renowned for its rich wildlife and lush landscapes. Located in the subtropical lowlands of the Terai region, the park is home to endangered species like the Bengal tiger, one-horned rhinoceros, and gharial crocodile, along with elephants, sloth bears, and over 500 bird species. Visitors can enjoy thrilling jungle safaris on elephant-back, jeep tours, or canoe rides along the Rapti River, offering glimpses of crocodiles and rare Gangetic dolphins. The park also preserves the traditional Tharu culture, with vibrant dance performances and community-based eco-tourism experiences. With its dense forests, grassy plains, and wetlands, Chitwan National Park is a paradise for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike.
