The Canoe Ride offers a peaceful yet thrilling way to explore the rivers of Chitwan.

Birdwatchers will love this part of the tour, as over 500 species of birds inhabit the area, filling the air with vibrant colors and songs. This quiet ride is a perfect contrast to the adrenaline of the safari, giving you a chance to soak in the calm beauty of the park.
Visit to the Elephant Breeding Center
One of the highlights of Chitwan is the Elephant Breeding Center, a rare and remarkable experience. This center was established to protect and preserve Nepal’s elephant population, offering visitors a chance to see baby elephants and learn about conservation efforts. It’s one of only two centers like it in the world, making this visit a truly special part of your Chitwan adventure. If you like, you can also assist washing the elephants or even bath with them in the river.

In the evening, immerse yourself in the vibrant culture of the Tharu people, one of Chitwan’s largest ethnic groups. The Tharu Cultural Program is a lively showcase of traditional dances, music, and art. Local performers, dressed in their colorful ethnic attire, perform captivating dances using Dhols and Tharu sticks, each routine telling a story of harmony between the people and the wildlife that surrounds them. The rhythmic beats and lively movements make this cultural experience a must-see, offering a deeper understanding of the region’s heritage.

Planning your visit to Chitwan National Park is crucial to making the most of your adventure. With Himalayan Dream Team, we ensure that your experience is perfectly timed, offering you the best wildlife encounters and cultural immersion. Here’s what you need to know about the best times to visit:
Time Period | Weather | Activities |
---|---|---|
October to Early March | Pleasant temperatures around 25°C, cooler air, and low humidity | Ideal for jungle safaris, birdwatching, and cultural experiences. Comfortable for trekking and exploring the park. |
April and May | Hot temperatures, often reaching mid-40°Cs, dry season | Best for spotting wildlife near waterholes, though the heat can be intense. Ideal for animal viewing opportunities. |
November to January | Clear skies, cool nights, mild days, occasional cold spells | Excellent visibility, perfect for photography and nature lovers. Great for exploring without the heat and humidity. |
Late November until the Monsoon | High humidity, but clear skies and good visibility | Perfect for photographers, nature lovers, and those seeking stunning views of landscapes with crisp visibility. |
Monsoon Season (Mid-June to Mid-September) | Heavy rains, high humidity, muddy terrain | Challenging for jungle safaris and wildlife spotting due to the heavy rains. Not recommended for visits. |
Most trips to Chitwan National Park are scheduled from late September to May, avoiding the heavy monsoon rains that dominate Nepal between mid-June and mid-September. During the monsoon, 80% of the country’s rainfall occurs, making jungle safaris and wildlife sightings challenging.
At other times of the year, especially during the monsoon and late spring, haze and pollution from traffic, industry, and waste burning can affect the views and air quality.
During your Two nights and Three days Chitwan National Park Tour, you will enjoy comfortable accommodation in quality hotels. The package includes delicious meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with a variety of options to suit your preferences. A visit to Tharu village offers a chance to savor authentic Tharu cuisine, including the unique "Ghongi," a must-try dish for meat lovers.

Chitwan National Park Tour, 2 nights 3 days with Himalayan Dream Team
7th October, 2024
After completing an exhilarating adventure to Lobuche East Peak with the incredible Himalayan Dream Team in September/October 2024, we decided to unwind with a 2-night, 3-day Chitwan Safari Tour. Traveling with family and friends, it was the perfect way to relax and experience nature up close.
The jungle excursions were simply delightful. Our tour guide was outstanding, knowledgeable, and always ensured our safety, especially by advising us to avoid bright-colored clothing during the walks. The hikes were unforgettable—we spotted a python, a rhino, deer, and even a tiger paw print! The canoe rides were peaceful yet thrilling, offering close encounters with crocodiles and exotic birds. While traditional canoes were charming, they sit low in the water, which may pose a challenge for those with mobility concerns.
The Jeep Safari added even more excitement as we encountered rhinos, elephants, deer, monkeys, and more. Ending our holiday with this safari tour after trekking in the Himalayas was the perfect way to balance adventure with relaxation.
Thank you, Himalayan Dream Team, for taking such good care of our family and making this experience one we will always cherish!
Warm greetings from all of US
