Covering 960 sq. km. (360 sq.
mi.) of grassland and tall sal and riverine forests set against the
backdrop of the Himalaya, the Chitwan National Park is home to an incredible
variety of wildlife, including several endangered species. The elusive
Royal Bengal Tiger, one of the most difficult big cats
to observe in the wild, roams the jungles of Chitwan with the leopard
and other lesser cats. There is the One-Horned Rhinoceros;
around 450 of these make their home in the lush forests of chitwan,
along with four species of deer, the rhesus and langur monkeys, sloth
bear, wild boar, gaur (the largest of the world's wild cattle), the
wild dog and the hyena.
In the waters of the two mighty
rivers that drain the Chitwan valley, the Narayani and the Rapti, you
will find a diversity of riverine wildlife including the endangered
fish-eating gharial crocodile, the marsh mugger crocodile and the Gangetic
Dolphin, found in the western area of the Park. Chitwan is a bird-watchers'
paradise, with over 440 species of resident and migratory birds having
been identified so far. The Giant Hornbill, The Paradise Flycatcher,
the Large Pied Kingfisher and the Racquet-Tailed Drongo all live and
love in the forests and skies of Chitwan.
There are several lodges scattered
in different locations inside the park, with a pervading feeling of
being in the wild that's hard to beat. The lodges have qualified resident
naturalists and guides, and offer a host of options in exploring the
jungle, including elephant safaris, canoe rides, jungle walks, bird-watching
tours, and jeep drives.
