If you are traveling on Nepal, then, undoubtedly, the Kittitan Reserve needs to be included in your tourist route, this is exactly the place that will leave bright memories in the motley kaleidoscope of impressions from the distant and mysterious kingdom.
The National Reserve Chitwan is the former hunting grounds of the Nepalese kings who were carefully guarded, received funding and care at the highest level. Thanks to this, very rare animals and birds live on the territory of the reserve in natural habitat for themselves. For example, the largest number on the planet of individual rhinois is inhabited in the chitan, on some of the cash bills of Nepal depicts a rhino as one of the characters of Nepal. In the chitan you can also see the Bengal tiger, bears, many other rare predators, as well as a huge number of the most unusual birds. During a walk along the river on a boat, which, as a rule, included in all mandatory tourist routes on the reserve, can be observed for crocodiles that are either undressed on the shore in the sun, or enjoy the same habitual water element.
It will be more convenient to the chitan and closer if you relax in Pokhara, you will have to spend more from Kathmandu on the road. In any travel agency in Pokhara and Katmy, you can buy a sightseeing package in Chitwan, which will be from $ 100 to $ 130, depending on the proposed set of services and the agency's greed. The standard package includes delivery to the reserve and back, accommodation one or two nights, meals, excursion program, including guide services. The excursion program includes a jungle riding walk on an elephant (it is from the back of an elephant the highest probability to see the most close rhino as much as possible, since the elephants are not afraid of rhinocies, and people do not distinguish between his back), walking through the conductor (without jungle guides it is prohibited Due to the increased danger of the attack of animals), a boat walk on the river to observe crocodiles, swimming with an elephant in the river and visiting an elephant nursery.
Tourists are placed, as a rule, in the bungalow on the territory of the reserve, which makes it possible to fully feel the unity with the unique nature of the chitan, fall asleep and wake up under the unforgettable sounds of the jungle. Some agencies place their tourists in hotels located near the village of Sauraha, which deprives them of the possibility of the adorable charms with wildlife described above.
What placement is the tour, as well as a detailed list of services included in its value, must be asked in the travel agency, and it is desirable with written confirmation, because, which sin, Nepalese entrepreneurs are far from the most honest in the world.
In Chitwan, you can take an independent trip, without the help of travel agencies. To do this, you need to take the bus to the village of Sauraha, to overcome a taxi or a bike a few kilometers to the reserve, agree on the provision of guide services (this is necessary for staying on the territory of the reserve) and accommodation. Bargain, as elsewhere in Nepal, is necessarily. An independent journey is unlikely to significantly save money, but will provide more individuality and freedom of housing, programs and time of excursions during their stay in this amazing place of the planet.
