About this tour
The half-day jeep safari is the most popular single activity in Chitwan, and it's the easiest way to cover enough ground to find rhinos, deer and birds of prey.
You'll cross the Rapti by boat, meet your jeep on the park side and spend three to four hours on forest tracks and along the grassland edges. Morning drives are cooler. Afternoon drives catch animals coming down to water as the light softens.
Park entry and your guide are included, and if you'd rather have a private jeep, just ask.
