    Cultural & Ethical Tourism Experiences

    Tharu Cultural Encounters

    Chitwan’s native Tharu community has a lot of traditions, giving visitors real cultural experiences. Taking part in things like Lathi Nach (stick dance), guided village tours, and staying in traditional homes lets travellers connect with local customs and ways of life. These experiences make your 3N4D Chitwan Jungle Safari more memorable and help preserve the  Tharu heritage.

    Sustainable and Responsible Tourism Practices

    Our safari package emphasises sustainable tourism by collaborating with local communities and promoting eco-friendly practices. Staying in community-run accommodations, participating in eco-tourism initiatives, and supporting local artisans contribute to the economic upliftment of the Tharu people and the conservation of their cultural heritage during your Chitwan National Park tours 3N4D.

    Ethical Wildlife Experiences

    We focus on ethical wildlife tourism by offering activities like jungle walks and canoe rides, which have less impact on the environment and let you see animals up close. We don’t recommend elephant rides because they can hurt the animals and don’t follow ethical tourism standards.

    Instead, the focus is on experiences that respect animal welfare and promote conservation efforts. Choosing our 3N4D Chitwan Jungle Safari means your adventure supports both wildlife conservation and local communities.

    Don’t just read about it-live it! Book your 3 Nights 4 Days Chitwan National Park tour today and witness these rare species and vibrant traditions firsthand.

    Best Time to Visit for 3-night 4-day Chitwan Jungle Safari Tour

    The best time for a 3N4D Chitwan Jungle Safari is in the dry winter season, from October to March.

            From Kathmandu

            • By Flight – A short 25-minute flight takes you from Kathmandu to Bharatpur Airport, which is the nearest airport to Chitwan National Park. From there, it’s about a 30-minute drive to Sauraha, the main safari hub.

            From Pokhara
