Chitwan National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in southern Nepal’s subtropical lowlands, spans 952.63 square kilometers and is celebrated for its rich biodiversity. Home to endangered species like the one-horned rhinoceros, Bengal tigers, and over 500 bird species, the park offers a true wildlife haven.
Established in 1973, it protects the unique Terai ecosystem with its mix of dense forests, open grasslands, and the Rapti River. Visitors can enjoy jungle safaris, canoe rides, and guided nature walks, all while discovering the vibrant Tharu culture in nearby villages.
As a model of conservation and eco-tourism, Chitwan National Park showcases Nepal’s dedication to preserving natural heritage and promoting sustainable travel.
