A closer look at the journey.

A Chitwan stay offers a change from Nepal's mountain routes, with time among lowland forest, river and grassland habitats. The primary programme begins at the lodge and allows two nights in the area. A local nature guide helps select outings around the season, weather and the activities available for your dates.

Guided walks, birdwatching, canoe or jeep outings can be discussed as part of the programme. Wildlife moves freely, so the experience is about exploring habitats as well as any animals seen along the way. A four-day stay is an alternative for travellers wanting more time. Road or air connections from elsewhere in Nepal can be planned separately around the lodge programme.

  • Lowland forest and river landscapes
  • Locally guided birdwatching and nature outings
  • A two-night stay with a longer option
