Chitwan National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, spans 952 square kilometers of subtropical forests, grasslands, and wetlands in Nepal's Terai region. Visitors explore by jeep safari, canoe, or guided jungle walks, seeking iconic wildlife like the greater one-horned rhinoceros and Bengal tiger. The park's diverse ecosystems also host sloth bears, leopards, and over 500 bird species. Tharu villages on the park's periphery offer cultural insights, while elephant safaris provide elevated viewing. Conservation successes here have made Chitwan a global model for protecting endangered species.
