Chitwan Free Travel Guide | What can you do in Chitwan?

I think many non-hiking enthusiasts who come to Nepal are drawn not only by the country's profound cultural heritage but also by the highly healing forest outdoor activities in Chitwan.💞 👀 So, how exactly should one experience Chitwan? 🎫 Tickets Chitwan National Park ticket: 2000 Nepalese rupees👍 🌟 Recommended Activities 1️⃣ Elephant ride to spot rhinos: You can get up close with elephants, experiencing jungle treks, mountain climbs, and river crossings from an elephant's perspective. What's more, you can truly get close to wild animals. 🐊🦒🦒🐘 However, the ride is bumpy, so it's not suitable for those who dislike seeing elephants work or can't stand 2️⃣ Canoe safari to see crocodiles: About six to seven people per canoe, with a 45-minute ride. You can spot various crocodiles as well as birds like hummingbirds and kingfishers—quite a novel experience. 3️⃣ Jungle hike: A guide will lead you on a 1-3 hour jungle hike, allowing close observation of various wild animals and plants.🌵🌴 4️⃣ Jeep safari: Only two trips a day, at 7 AM and 1 PM, lasting 4 hours by car. It takes you deep into the jungle, but spotting animals is quite luck-dependent. It’s better to go to enjoy the jungle scenery.🎆🌄 5️⃣ Sunset viewpoint: A free activity. Location: Sauraha Sunset Point🏖️ 📝 Optional Activities 1️⃣ Visit baby elephants at the conservation center: Not far from the jungle hiking area is the elephant conservation center, home to about 20 elephants.🐘 2️⃣ Tharu cultural performance: Starts at 7 PM daily, lasting 30 minutes. The unique peacock dance is quite distinctive.💓 ✍️ Reference Prices I booked as a solo traveler, so I couldn’t bargain much. I paid 6500 local currency for a package including canoeing, jungle hiking, and elephant ride. It’s much cheaper for larger groups.🌴🌴 🚗 Transportation Chitwan mainly centers around Sauraha town, which is small enough to explore on foot. You can also download the inDrive app to hail taxis.🚌🚌 🚌 Intercity Buses Locate "tourist bus stop sauraha"—there are buses to Kathmandu and Pokhara, departing at 7 AM. (If traveling on weekends, be sure to buy tickets in advance❗️) 🏠 Accommodation It’s recommended to stay in the town center for convenience. I stayed at Hotel Peacock, which cost 1400 local currency per night with decent value for money. 🍜 Dining There aren’t many great dining options in Chitwan. One choice is Friends Cafe, a Western restaurant—service is slow but the place is clean. 💰 Currency Exchange There are almost no currency exchange spots in Chitwan. It’s best to exchange money in Kathmandu or Pokhara. If not, you can only withdraw cash from ATMs.💰💰 📕 Entry Guide See my previous article: 《Nepal Entry 🇳🇵｜A Step-by-Step Guide to Smooth Arrival in Nepal》 #NepalTravel#Chitwan#Travel
