Wildlife Safari
Chitwan
The Chitwan National Park, which stand today as successful
testimony of nature conservation in South Asia. This
is the first national park of Nepal established in 1973
to preserve a unique eco system significantly valuable
to the whole world. The Park covering the protected
area of 932 Sq. Km. is situated in the subtropical inner
Terai lowlands of southern central part of Nepal. The
Park gained much wider recognition in the world when
UNESCO included this area on the list of World Heritage
Site in 1984. It should also be emphasized that only
a very small part of the national park is used for tourism.
The great majority of the land, particularly in the
hills, remains unvisited and therefore undisturbed.
This is ideal for wildlife, and also preserves an element
of mystery for humans; because large areas are still
unexplored, our knowledge of what birds and animals
the park contains is by no means finalized, and there
is always the possibility of making new discoveries.
