About this tour
The half-day jeep safari is the most popular single activity in Chitwan, and the easiest way to cover enough ground to find rhinos, deer and birds of prey.
You cross the Rapti by boat, meet the jeep on the park side and spend three to four hours on forest tracks and grassland edges. Morning drives are cooler; afternoon drives catch animals coming to water as the light softens.
Park entry and the guide are included. Private jeeps are available on request.
