Chitwan National Park

Just a little bit background on Chitwan, known for Chitwan National Park earlier known as Royal Chitwan National Park is the oldest national park in Nepal. Established in 1973, it was granted the status of a World Heritage Site in 1984.The park is located at subtropical inner Terai lowlands of South-Central Nepal in Chitwan district, 200km away from capital Kathmandu.
I have visited this place twice so far and once you are there you can feel the freshness in air and enjoy the nature. As the park itself is in remote part and very less flow of vehicle going towards the park it is advised to reach the nearest bus stop referred as Sauraha before 5PM. You will find all the other information about the park in wikipedia :)

About the place you will find a lot of species of plants animals and birds in this region.

I have one recommendation regarding where to stay once you are there as I stayed at the same resort and really enjoyed the stay there. Chitwan Forest Resort is located near the park which is manages by Deepak and Adrian. You can email them about any information there or call them as well. In case if you are plaining to go there I would recommend to call them in advance so they can arrange pickup to reach the park. Email:- bhattraideepak@yahoo.com or adrian-spyr@hotmail.com. Phone numbers would be 00977-56-580052 or call Deepak on +977-9845044150 or Adrian on +977-9845089399. They can also arrange all kinds activity with in the park including jungle walk, trekking, elephant ride and so on.
