Experience An Epic Wildlife Safari In Nepal 2

 The starting point for all Chitwan safari is Sauraha, a lovely small town on the banks of the Rapti river. There are heaps of safari options available from one of the many tour outlets in town, but we’d suggest either a jeep safari or dugout canoe trip down the Rapti.

On safari, you’ll have the chance to spot Rhino (we saw 15!), sloth bears, crocodile, including the endangered Gharial, monkeys and if you’re really lucky, the Bengal Tiger or Leopard. Unfortunately, each time we’ve visited we’ve missed seeing the reclusive Tiger, but it’s just reason to visit again, right?
