You will be going in to deep jungle in elephant back or four wheel drive vehicle to view wild animals in their natural habitat.

More than 43 species of animals are found in Chitwan. The endangered one-horned rhino, royal bengal tiger, gharial crocodile, four-horned antelope, striped hyena, and the gangetic dolphin are the main attractions here.
