Evening briefing about the Chitwan activities and safety. Early check-in subject to availability.
Transfer to Chitwan National Park

In the evening enjoy the Tharu Cultural Program — traditional music and dance with a welcome dinner. Carry a light jacket for cooler mornings and evenings.
Jungle Safari & Canoe Ride on Rapti River
Early morning guided birdwatching session followed by a hearty breakfast. Set out for a jeep or elephant (subject to availability and park regulations) safari into Chitwan National Park seeking One-horned Rhinoceros, deer, and if lucky, wild elephants or Bengal tiger signs. After lunch, enjoy a peaceful canoe ride on the Rapti River for close encounters with aquatic birds, marsh life, and riverbank scenery.

Afternoon at leisure with options for an additional jeep safari, village cycling, or spa/rest at the lodge. In the evening enjoy a second Tharu dance performance and farewell dinner featuring local cuisine.
