About this tour

Four nights is for people who want Chitwan to be more than a stop between cities. With two whole days in the middle, you can give one to a full-day jeep safari towards Kasara and spend the other on foot and on the water.

The extra time also buys you flexibility. If fog sits on the grassland one morning, your guide simply moves the jeep drive. Birders get several dawns, and photographers get to go back to the best spots.

Your last morning is left free for anything you'd like to do again.
