Narayani-Rapti River System Forms a Natural Boundary

In the north and west of the protected area, the Narayani-Rapti river system forms a natural boundary to human settlements. Neighboring to the east of Chitwan National Park is Parsa Wildlife Reserve, adjacent in the south is the Indian Tiger ReserveValmiki National Park. The rational protected area of 2,075 km2 represents the Tiger Conservation Unit (TCU) Chitwan-Parsa-Valmiki, which covers a 3,549 km2 huge block of alluvial grasslands and subtropical moist deciduous forests.

Activity in the Park

Another activity in the park is the boat/canoe trip down the Rapti and the Narayani Rivers. This is one of the more serene ways to explore the area as float downstream with the river’s flow. On the out skirts of Chitwan you can the Tharu community, and see their artistically decorated thatched huts, their typical dance and how they manage life next to the national park. A Chitwan jungle safari is certainly an adventure that the whole family can enjoy.
