World Heritage Sites - Naturally
UNESCO has listed two out of many natural sites of Nepal in the list of
world's heritage sites.
Sagarmatha National Park and
Royal Chitwan National Park
are the two natural
heritage sites of Nepal.
Royal Chitwan National Park
Now a days the Chitwan National Park stands spread over an area of nine hundred
and thirty-two square kilometers (632 sq. km.) as a successful research center
of nature conservation in South Asia. This park is situated in the tropical and
sub-tropical inner Terai lowlands of southern central part of Nepal. The park
consists of the Churia hills, flood plains of the Rapti ox-bow lakes, Deu and
Narayani rivers. The lower but much rugged Someshwor hills occupy most of the
western portion of the park. The flood plains of Chitwan are rich in alluvial.
The park boundaries have been delineated by the Narayani and the Rapti rivers in
the north and west, the Deu river and Someshwor hills in the south and
south-west and the eastern border with
Parsa Wildlife Reserve.
