Tiger spotted on a guided jungle safari in Chitwan
Activities in Chitwan

The jungle, up close.

Wildlife, river journeys, elephant care and Tharu culture, guided by people who call this landscape home.

Explore activities

Every outing begins with the landscape.

No two days in Chitwan unfold the same way. Our naturalists plan each experience around the season, the river and the movement of wildlife.

One stay, a complete journey.

Jeep safari at dawn, canoe by midday, elephants, birds and village — what you actually do, where you go, and who you meet.

Jeep safari

Open-top 4WD with a naturalist — sal forest and tall grassland, tracking rhino, deer and signs of tiger. Guests ride, stop, glass and photograph.

Canoe safari

Traditional dugout canoe on the Narayani at softer hours — gharial, mugger and river birds from the water, not just a line item.

Elephants & briefing

The only resort inside the park story with its own elephants: supervised briefing, food prep and feeding with mahouts — the relationship, not a ride photo.

Village & Tharu culture

Wooden-bridge walks into neighbouring villages, Tharu dance and craft — staffed by the villages around us, not performed at arm's length.

Elephants · our distinction

The only resort story with its own elephants.

A supervised briefing with mahouts and naturalists, food preparation and feeding, river crossings and forest time. Chain-free and cared for as partners — the relationship with the herd is part of the stay, not a minor activity among the rest.

Culture is not an add-on.

The villages around the resort are part of its story. Visit with curiosity, listen closely and meet traditions as they are lived now.
