Canoeing on the Rapti River gives you a chance to see "mugger" crocodiles and the long-nosed "gharial" crocodiles. As you glide quietly you have a good chance to spot water birds including the kingfisher.
Nature Walks
A naturalist guide travel will walk alongside you to make sure you know what you are seeing and have chance to learn about the wildlife and ecosystem here.
Elephant Centre
Visit the Elephant Breeding Centre for a close up view of these huge beasts.
Ox cart ride and village visit
