You will be among One-Horned Rhinoceroses all the time and deers roams your cottage from the dawn of the day. It is likely that you'll encounter Tiger while you go deep into the forest on the elephant back.

Tiger Camp. This package is for those who are on budget, like the students. They do however get all the safari activities but will be staying overnight outside the forest. You'll find yourself among the wild animals while on the elephant back safari. In the night you may visit the local pub or bar.

Island Jungle Resort (Inside the National Park)

Getting There

Via Surface. A scenic 6 hours drive southwards via the Prithivi Highway for 135 kilometers till Narayaghat followed by 27 kilometers westwards on the East-west highway and finally a short 6 kilometers stretch of dirt track southwards that leads into island Jungle Resort.

Via River. It is possible to combine your surface departure together with a white water rafting program of one to three days.  The rafting course is one the Trisuli River that runs parallel to the Prithivi Highway. The put-in-points are either from Charaudi or Fishling, which are 72, and 80 kilometers respectively from Kathmandu. Rafting is the kind of exciting outdoor activity to go hand in glove with wildlife adventures.

Via Air. Bharatpur, the district headquarters of Chitwan has an airfield with direct domestic flight connections between Kathmandu and Pokhara. There are daily flights to Kathmandu but flights to Pokhara operate only during the peak tourist season although charters are available at anytime of the year. Kathmandu/Bharatpur or vice versa is a 25 to 30 minutes flight while Pokhara/Bharatpur or vice verse takes 15 to 20 minutes. Program The program during your stay at Island Jungle Resort has been designed in such a way so as to make your stay enjoyable but exciting at the same time. However, viewing of wildlife at their best require early morning and late afternoon s which is a matter beyond our control, and guests are advised to comply to the schedule for their own advantage.
