Chitwan

Brief introduction to Chitwan city:
Formerly, the Chitwan Valley was well known for big game hunting and until 1950 was exclusively managed as a hunting reserve for the Rana Prime Ministers and their guests. In 1963, the area south of the Rapti River was demarcated as a rhinoceros sanctuary. In 1970, His late Majesty King Mahendra approved, in principle, the creation of Royal Chitwan National Park.

Some of the major things to do in Chitwan:

Sightseeing:
An elephant ride through the park gives you the opportunity to sight the denizens from close quarters, while a boat ride on the river through the jungles can be an exciting affair and a good option to move deep inside.

Excursions:
There are several exciting options for daylong and weekend trips from Chitwan National Park. The Gharial Breeding Centre is an important step towards the conservation and research on Gharial, one of the most endangered species. Lamital and Devital are two lakes flocked by migratory birds during winters. Bikram Baba is a Hindu religious site while Sauraha is the major commercial hub in the park region.

The Elephant Breeding Centre is a response from the park authorities to increase the number of pachyderms who felicitate visitor transportation inside the park.
