A UNESCO-listed lowland jungle where one-horned rhinos wallow in the grasslands and Bengal tigers prowl the sal forests of the Terai.
Down on the steamy Terai plains, Chitwan is Nepal’s premier wildlife destination and a complete contrast to the mountains.
Wildlife of the Terai
Home to the greater one-horned rhinoceros, Bengal tigers, gharial crocodiles, sloth bears and more than 500 bird species.
Tharu culture
The Indigenous Tharu people have lived alongside this jungle for centuries; their villages and stick dances are part of any visit.
