Nepal Safari Adventure

When your international flight arrives at Kathmandu Airport, our guide will welcome you at the exit and transfer you to check in at the hotel. After a short refreshment at the hotel, we will first show you the Swayambunath Chaitya, where you can overlook the whole Kathmandu Valley on top of it. It is the major site of Buddhist pilgrimage and it is said that Sakyamuni had been here before. This temple fully reflects the perfect combination of Hinduism and Buddhism in Nepal. Then continue your visit to the most famous square - Kathmandu Durbar Square, which is also a good place for admiring the Nepal temples. In the square, you can see the Temple of Kumari - the vestal virgin or the living goddess, Hanuman Dhoka - the ancient royal residential quarter, Mahadev and Parvati Temple, and Machhender Bahl.

The first stop today is the Bouddhanath Stupa, one of the biggest stupas in the world. Walking in the street, you will find that you are surrounded by monks, temples and stores filled with Tibetan books and butter. Next, you will go to visit the Pashupatinath Temple. Here you are able to take pictures with Indian Hindu Sadhus and see the cremation ceremony. We would like to remind you that only Hindus are allowed inside the temple, so visitors can only visit it outside. Then we move to Bhaktapur City, the birthplace of medieval architecture and art of Nepal, which is located 14 kilometers away from Kathmandu. Here you will visit the Bhaktapur Durbar Square, the ancient Gateway, the Pottery Square and the Dattatreya Temple. In the evening, a nice dinner with Cultural Dance Show is served at a local reputed restaurant.

After breakfast, you will be transferred to Chitwan. Check in at the hotel upon arrival. The Royal Chitwan National Park is not only the largest wild animal park in Nepal but also one of the biggest forest parks of Asia. It used to be a private land for hunting for the royal family and their guests and was listed as the World Culture Relics by the UNESCO in 1973. Occupying an area of 932 square kilometers, the park has more than 50 mammals including deer, rhinoceroses, wild boar, Bengal tigers, wild elephant and 525 kinds of birds, such as kingfishers, hawk, hornbill etc. It is a good chance to see tigers and other rare animals in February and March. There are three things you should not miss in the park, one is to see rhinoceroses by riding elephant, another is bird watching in canoe and the third is hiking in the park (guide is needed due to the safety reason).

The exciting adventure of the Chitwan National Park starts today. Taking an elephant ride around the jungle for one and a half hour. You can do it at 08:00 in the morning or 16:00 in the afternoon. It is a very special experience to observe the life style of wild animals from the back of elephant. If you are lucky enough, you will see the rhinoceroses and Bengal tigers. In addition to riding elephants, you can explore the jungle in an open jeep. This is more exciting because you will have more chances to see wild animals. The journey takes about 4 hours, and if you can, go in the morning when the animals are more active. If you prefer this option, please make arrangements with your travel consultant when you plan the trip.

Canoeing along the Rapti River is a very popular way. Sitting on the boat to watch waterfowls, crocodiles and even the Gangetic dolphin is quite relaxing and memorable. Compared with the previous comfortable experience, jungle walk is more exciting and requires high physical energy. Following with the experienced guide, you will explore deep in the jungle and have a close contact with the wildlife. Finally, visit the Tharu village and enjoy a local dance performance called "Tharu Tribal Dance".
