Spring and the monsoon season also offer unique experiences, like migratory birds and vibrant green scenery.

    Dry Season (October - March)

    Most people think the dry season is the best time to see wildlife in Chitwan. And that is true as the air is less humid, skies are clear. The weather is cooler around this time, with temps reaching around 15°C to 25°C. Animals tend to hang out near water, so it’s easier to spot them. This time is perfect for jeep safaris, canoe rides, and nature walks.

    Spring (April - May)

    Spring is one of the best seasons to visit Chitwan, especially for them who are bird lovers. Migratory birds arrive from different regions, adding color and lively songs to the park. The temperatures are around 20°C to 30°C, and the park is full of flora and fauna.

    Monsoon (June-September)

    During the monsoon, Chitwan gets heavy rainfall, which turns the park a deep green. The scenery is stunning, but safari activities can be challenging because the trails become wet and muddy. Some areas may be hard to access, and large animals tend to move deeper into the forest, making sightings less frequent.

          Chitwan Jungle Safari - 2N3D Tour FAQs

          • The price for a 2 Nights 3 Days Chitwan Jungle Safari usually ranges between $150 and $300 per person. The cost depends on the type of lodge you choose, the season, and whether you add extra activities. Most packages already cover meals, accommodation, safari permits, jeep or elephant safaris, canoe rides, and cultural shows, so it’s good value for money.

          • Both options are exciting, but they give different experiences. Jeep safaris take you deep into the jungle and increase your chances of spotting rare animals like tigers and gharials. Elephant safaris, on the other hand, let you get surprisingly close to rhinos and deer. Many travelers choose to do both to make the most of their time in Chitwan.

          • Plan your trip between October and March, if your aim is to see more animals . The skies are clear, the weather is pleasant, and animals often gather near rivers and waterholes. April and May are warmer but perfect for birdwatching, while the monsoon months (June–September) bring lush green scenery, though some trails may be muddy and sightings less frequent.

          • Stick to lightweight, neutral-colored clothes that help you blend into the jungle. Long sleeves and pants are best to protect against mosquitoes and the sun. Don’t forget comfortable shoes, a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, and insect repellent. A good pair of binoculars is also handy if you enjoy birdwatching.

          • Yes, but it is important to keep expectations realistic. Tigers live in Chitwan, yet spotting one is a rare treat. What most visitors see are one-horned rhinos, elephants, crocodiles, monkeys, and colorful birds. For the best chance of glimpsing a Bengal tiger, choose a jeep safari that explores the park’s quieter zones early in the morning.

          • Yes, all safaris in Chitwan National Park are done with licensed local guides. They not only make sure you’re safe but also help spot animals you might otherwise miss. Their knowledge of the jungle, wildlife behavior, and local culture adds a lot of depth to the experience.

          • Yes, our package offers both options, and some travelers combine them for a complete safari experience.

          • Yes, safaris are guided and family-friendly, though children should be supervised closely during wildlife activities.

          • You can spot one-horned rhinoceros, Bengal tigers, wild elephants, deer, crocodiles, and over 500 species of birds.

          • October-March is best for wildlife sightings, while April-May is perfect for birdwatching and greenery.

          • Yes, every visitor needs a Chitwan National Park entry permit. If you book a package, the permit is already included in the price, so you won’t have to arrange it yourself.

          • Bhaktapur has no commercial airport; the nearest is Kathmandu’s Tribhuvan Airport, about 5-6 hours by road.

          • It is approximately 150 km from Kathmandu, which takes around 5-6 hours by road.

          • The park is around 150 km from Kathmandu Airport, accessible via private transfers or tourist buses.

          • Bharatpur Airport is the nearest, just a 20-30 minute drive to the park’s lodges.

          • For most travelers, 2 nights and 3 days is the sweet spot. It gives you time for jeep or elephant safaris, canoe rides, a Tharu village tour, and nature walks without feeling rushed. If you’re a wildlife photographer or bird enthusiast, staying 4–5 days gives you more opportunities to explore different parts of the park.

          • From Kathmandu, it’s about a 5–6 hour scenic drive, while from Pokhara it takes 4–5 hours by road. For those short on time, daily flights are available to Bharatpur Airport, just a 25-minute flight from Kathmandu. From there, it’s a short transfer to your lodge near the park.
