Itinerary

ITINERARY CHANGES Our itineraries are updated regularly throughout the year based on customer feedback and to reflect the current situation in each destination. The information included in this Essential Trip Information may therefore differ from when you first booked your trip. It's important that you review this information prior to travel so that you have the latest updates. Due to weather, local conditions, transport schedules, public holidays, political unrest or other factors, further changes may be necessary to your itinerary once in-country. Your group leader or local representative will keep you up to date with any such changes once your trip is underway and has the authority to amend or cancel any part of the trip itinerary if deemed necessary due to safety concerns. , OPTIONAL ACTIVITIES A selection of optional activities that have been popular with past travellers are listed in the day-to-day itinerary. This isn't an exhaustive list and should be used as a guide only for some of what might be available. Prices are approximate, are for entrance fees only, and don’t include transport to and from the sites or local guides unless indicated. All activities are subject to availability, and may be on a join-in basis. It may not be possible to do all the activities listed in the time available at each destination, so some pre-planning for what you are most interested in is advised. When it's recommended that travellers pre-book these activities, look for a note in the Special Information section of the day-to-day itinerary. For most, they can either be organised independently on the day, or let your group leader or local representative know you are interested at the Welcome Meeting and they can assist. Where activities are considered medium or high risk, we work with operators whose safety and credentials we have sighted and assessed. Although it is possible that you may find the same activity cheaper with another operator on the ground, we cannot vouch for the safety or quality of that operator. Medium and high-risk activities not listed above have not been assessed by us and as such our staff and group leader or local representative are unable to assist you with organising these activities. Activities that contravene our Responsible Travel policies are also not listed. Please remember that the decision to partake in any activity not listed is at your own discretion and risk.

Day 1 - Kathmandu
Namaste! Welcome to Nepal. You'll meet your trip leader this morning and depart Kathmandu at approximately 7 am, travelling to Chitwan National Park by bus. Take in the views of lush valleys, terraced farmlands and rural settlements during the drive. When you arrive, check into your jungle resort, located on the banks of the Rapti River in the small village of Sauraha, on the edge of the national park. Have a welcome lunch and settle into your room. Later this afternoon, join your leader for a walk through the village and get a glimpse of the local Tharu culture. This evening, you’ll have sundowners and canapes on the banks of the Rapti. Sit down to dinner with your group at the resort, then watch a performance of Lathi Nach (a traditional stick dance) by the local Tharu people.
Day 2 - Chitwan National Park
Wake up to the sounds of the jungle and have breakfast overlooking the resort’s gardens. Spend the morning on a canoe safari along the Rapti River. As you glide through the waterways, keep watch for marsh crocodiles, water birds like egrets and herons, and the critically endangered gharial crocodile. Return to the resort for lunch, then hop into a jeep and venture out on a jungle safari. Accompanied by expert naturalist guides, travel through dense sal forests, sprawling grasslands, oxbow lakes and riverine habitats in search of the park’s remarkable wildlife. Look out for the greater one-horned rhino, sloth bears, wild boar, spotted deer, sambar deer and langurs. If you’re lucky, you might encounter the elusive royal Bengal tiger. Head back to the resort in the late afternoon, where you’ll have a free evening until dinner.
Day 3 - Chitwan National Park
Take part in an expert-led bird watching experience this morning. Chitwan National Park is home to more than 500 bird species including kingfishers, hornbills, storks, eagles, woodpeckers and a diversity of seasonal migratory birds. Learn about the region’s ecosystems as you try to spot as many of its winged inhabitants as you can. Later today, visit the Tharu Museum, where you’ll gain an insight into the history, customs and traditions of the Tharu people who have lived in the jungles of Chitwan for many generations. Have lunch back at the resort, then spend the afternoon however you like. Unwind by the pool, explore the gardens or maybe just sit back and enjoy the serene atmosphere with the sounds of nature surrounding you. Tonight, join your group for a farewell dinner to celebrate your adventure.
Day 4 - Kathmandu
After breakfast, travel back to Kathmandu, where your adventure comes to an end. There is no accommodation included tonight. If you would like to stay for longer, just speak to your booking agent ahead of time.
