🐘 Chitwan Jungle Safari – Into the Wild Heart of Nepal
Located in southern Nepal, Chitwan National Park is the first national park of Nepal and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1984. Spanning over 900 sq. km, the park is home to some of Asia’s most endangered wildlife, including the Royal Bengal Tiger, one-horned rhinoceros, Asian elephant, gharial crocodile, and more than 500 species of birds.
