About this tour
This tour takes the planning out of the Kathmandu–Chitwan trip. A private car picks you up from your hotel in the morning and drives the Prithvi Highway to Sauraha, stopping whenever you'd like.
In Chitwan you'll get the same program as our two-night package: a jeep safari, a canoe ride, a jungle walk and an evening in a Tharu village. On the third day the car takes you back to Kathmandu, or on to Pokhara if you'd prefer.
The price is per person, based on two travelers sharing the car.
