Exploring Chitwan Wildlife

Chitwan National Park is not just a forest; it is one of Asia’s most successful conservation stories and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Spanning over 950 square kilometers, it is home to over 68 species of mammals and more than 540 species of birds.

The "Big Three" of Chitwan are the Greater One-horned Rhinoceros, the Royal Bengal Tiger, and the Asian Elephant. Seeing a rhino graze in the morning mist or tracking a tiger's footprint in the Sal forest is an experience that stays with you forever. But the wonders don't stop there. A canoe ride down the Rapti River offers a front-row seat to see the critically endangered Gharial crocodile a prehistoric-looking creature with a long, thin snout basking on the sandy banks. For bird lovers, the park is a paradise; from the colorful Giant Hornbill to the dancing Peacocks and migratory waterfowl, there is always something soaring above. At Latauli Sanctuary Resort, our expert naturalists are ready to guide you through these habitats, ensuring a safe and deep connection with the wild heart of Nepal.
