KATHMANDU – CHITWAN NATIONAL PARK - KATHMANDU
This gap year travel journey takes you on an adventure in the Chitwan National Park about 5 hours by road from Kathmandu. Once a private hunting ground; Chitwan is now a National Park. Lying at the foot of the Himalaya; it spans nine hundred square kilometres of virgin rainforest, grasslands and lake lands on Nepal’s border with India. This gap year adventure takes you into this habitat of the Bengal Tiger (rarely seen), the rare Asian Rhino, the ferocious sloth bear, a number of species of deer, the mugger and rare gharial crocodiles, a myriad of beautiful birds and much other wildlife. An exciting safari for a gap year adventure break gives you a choice of activities and a varied wildlife experience.
