Chitwan National Park Tour Packages from Malaysia

Nepal is two completely different countries. The Himalayan north that most travellers see — temples, stupas, mountain views — and the subtropical south that most travellers miss: Chitwan National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Terai lowlands where the mountains finally flatten into elephant grass and jungle. A Chitwan tour package from Malaysia adds this extraordinary dimension to the classic Nepal circuit. Jeep safaris through sal forest at dawn, when the one-horned rhinos are most active — Chitwan has the second-largest rhino population in the world. A dugout canoe drift down the Rapti River with gharial crocodiles on the sandbanks and kingfishers in the branches. Elephant bathing at the riverside. Evenings in a Tharu village learning how the indigenous people of the valley have lived alongside the wildlife for centuries. Combined with Kathmandu and Pokhara, Chitwan completes Nepal in a way that no Himalayan-only itinerary can. Dhesu has been running this full circuit since 1988, with wildlife guides who know the park and private vehicles that handle every inter-city transfer.
