Sauraha

Laid-back Just across the Rapti River from Sauraha is the expansive Chitwan National Park, which is home to tigers, rhinoceros, and crocodiles in its tropical woods. In addition to homey cafes and eateries serving Nepalese specialties like momo dumplings, the neighbourhood is dotted with low-key safari lodges. Images of the indigenous Tharu people can be found in paintings and dioramas at the Tharu Cultural Museum & Research Centre.
