Chitwan Wild Life Safari - 06 Days

Day 01: Arrival in Kathmandu (1400m)

Upon arrival at the Tribhuwan International Airport in Kathmandu, you will be received by a representative from Marron Treks and then transferred to your hotel. At the hotel, you will be greeted with welcome drinks. We then have a quick pre-trip meeting where you will be briefed on the necessary formalities and your tour itinerary. You can spend the remaining half of the day, resting Or if lying flat is too unbecoming for you, stroll around the nearby places just to get the feel of what this city is like. Overnight at hotel in Kathmandu; breakfast included.

 

Day 02: Kathmandu city sightseeing (1400m)

Short stroll in the evening yesterday might not have acquainted you to Kathmandu. So we want to make sure that you know this city like you know yourself. Once done with your breakfast, let’s hop in to our reserved vehicle and then head on for a comfy ride with one of our experienced city guides. You will be visiting the most renowned historical/cultural landmarks in Kathmandu. Our guide will take you to the Pasupatinath Temple (the most revered Hindu shrine), Kathmandu (Basantapur) Durbar Square and Boudhanath (the Maha Stupa). All these sites are enlisted in the UNESCO world’s heritage list. After this informative and interesting tour, we drive back through the busy and noisy streets of Kathmandu to the serene premises of your hotel. Overnight at hotel in Kathmandu; breakfast included.
 

Day 03: Drive from Kathmandu to Chitwan (150m/4hours) 

After that early succulent breakfast in your hotel, you will meet your guide who will accompany you on a drive all the way to Chitwan. About 4 hours of mixed drive- smooth at times and bumpy at another, you will arrive at Chitwan. The hot air can be felt, as Kathmandu to Chitwan is literally a nose dive in terms of the elevation-from a staggering 1400m to meager 150m. We check in to our hotel and relax for some time.  Next, we attend a brief orientation session regarding the activities to follow. After lunch, our half day Chitwan adventure commences. Today, it is going to be more of a cultural tour. We go about visiting the “Tharu” village. “Tharus” are the indigenous people here, so interacting with them could be a great fun. Most of the Tharus speak their own language but they understand a great deal of Nepali language too. So your guide will be able to help you to interpret the conversation. From Tharu village, we head on towards the river, to relish the splendid sunset view. In the evening, we witness an enticing cultural show of the Tharus that includes their very unique “stick dance”. Overnight at hotel in Chitwan on full board (breakfast, lunch and dinner) basis with jungle activities. 

Day 04: Jungle activities in Chitwan National Park

Another consecutive day to get intimate with the wild!! Our sweet slumber at the resort breaks with a wake- up call, coupled with steaming cup of tea/coffee. We then gear up for an array of jungle activities at the Chitwan National Park. Let’s begin with a comfy ride on the cushiony back of the mammoth. Piercing the heart of the jungle, you might find yourself freakishly close to many of the wild beasts out there; well, you might just get a little shaky, but don’t worry, being on the top of the huge pachyderm, you are as safe as heaven. We have our pack lunch somewhere in the woods, amidst the twittering birds, swaying trees and prowling animals; something really different compared to the conventional milieu of our regular lunch table. At one time we will be riding on a growling jeep, while at other time we find ourselves on a boat cruising smoothly on the quiet waters. Our eyes hungrily catch glimpse of every single component visible around the massive frontier of the park; be it a scary king cobra, a stout one- horned rhino, a rugged mugger crocodile or a graceful Bengal tigress!  Not just that an array of exotic floras and beautiful birds are certainly going to woo you. We also visit the Elephant Breeding Center. A dugout canoe ride is also on the cards. This gives us a profound idea about the habitat of the king of the waters- the crocodiles!  Besides, a subtle jungle walk could also be very soothing. Thus, an adventure packed day comes to an end. Overnight at hotel in Chitwan on full board (breakfast, lunch and dinner) basis with jungle activities.
 

Day 05: Drive from Chitwan to Kathmandu (1400m/4hours)

Early morning wake up call, followed by tea/coffee.  Spotting birds is best during the morning. So we make the most of it, taking a quick hike into the jungle to behold these beautiful aviators. We then walk back to our hotel for breakfast, followed by a drive back to Kathmandu. You will be transferred to your hotel. The remaining time is on your own. You can perhaps have some souvenir shopping at Thamel. May be that in addition to your interesting trip anecdotes, you would also want to take back some stuff for your friends and relatives. In the evening, Marron Treks will host a farewell dinner, featuring a range of traditional Nepali cuisines cum a live cultural show. Enjoy the dinner, pack/prepare yourself for a flight back home and have a beauty sleep. Overnight at hotel in Kathmandu; breakfast and dinner included.

Day 06: Final departure

Depending upon the flight schedule, a representative from Marron Treks will escort you to the Tribhuwan International Airport, three hours prior to your take off time. As you wave us good bye and enter the terminal block, you would perhaps recall your arrival at this place.
