Chitwan is lowland Terai at about 150 m, six hours south of Kathmandu, and it is where Nepal keeps its rhino. These 15 safaris are compared on nights inside the park, whether the mornings are jeep, canoe or walking, and what the price includes. None of them ride elephants.

“Excelente, le hubiera dado 5 estrellas. PERO, la vuelta fue catastrófica: nos mandaron a los turistas (que habíamos pagado un precio internacional) en el autobus público que, en realidad, cuesta poquísimo. El autobús iba lleno, hacía muchísimas paradas, y no era cómodo en absoluto. Asientos muy pequeños y calidad de transporte público en Nepal. sinceramente, por el precio pagado, esperabamos un bus como el de la ida (bus turístico privado, sin escalas innecesarias para levantar pasajeros). El tour fue excepcional, las comidad muy bien, nuestro guía fantástico. Vimos rinocerontes, cocodrilos y ciervos. Hermoso plan. Pero lo del bus de vuelta nos dejó indignados. Deberían cambiarlo y sería un ...”

The hotel was well-maintained and very clean. The staff were incredible, always attentive and ready to help. The guides were wonderful, and I had a great time with them. One of the highlights of my stay was spending a night in the jungle, which was absolutely exceptional. I saw so many animals, and it was truly a memorable experience. I had booked a 4-day package, and I think 4 days is perfect to fully enjoy all the activities…”

“Ich wurde am Vortag der Tour vom Anbieter per WhatsApp kontaktiert, dass die Jeepsafari um 8 Uhr losgehen wird (ausgemacht war 6 Uhr morgens). Als ich mich darüber beschwert habe, hieß es, dass wir doch um 6 Uhr abgeholt werden würden. Am nächsten Morgen wurden wir zwar um 6.30 Uhr abgeholt, aber nicht für die Jeepsafari, sondern es hieß, dass wir morgens um 7 Uhr zu der Kanufahrt fahren würden, weil sie keine Plätze für die frühe Jeepsafari mehr hätten. Als wir drauf bestanden haben, dass sie sich an die Beschreibung der gebuchten Tour halten sollen, verlangten sie von uns einen Aufpreis (30 €), wenn wir eine morgendliche Safari machen…”
