You will need to stay overnight to get the most out your trip and there are several campsites within the park. Other activities not to be missed include elephant riding, canoeing and local Tharu cultural shows. Elephant riding: typical elephant treks last up to 2 hours, providing you with an opportunity to get close-up to some of the endangered animals you see en-route. Riding on an elephant is the ideal way to spot a one-horned rhinoceros or an elusive Bengal tiger. Canoeing: the Reu, Rapti and Narayani rivers mark the park’s boundaries and provide excellent canoeing opportunities for beginners and experts alike. Visitors must take a guide with them for safety reasons. Guided jungle walking: half-day and full-day guided jungle walking tours are available for those brave enough to explore the park on foot. Guides carry armed guns for safety and take tour groups to favourite wildlife spots, ensuring you see a good selection of the park’s resident animals. Wildlife spotting: with more than 43 species of mammals, 450 species of birds and dozens of species of reptiles and amphibians, you will not leave the park disappointed. Endangered species here including wild elephants, striped hyenas and pythons as well as sloth bears and leopards; these creatures may be hard to spot, but there are many others that aren’t camera shy. Four-wheel-drive safaris: safaris of different lengths are available throughout the park and are suitable for those who enjoy the comfort and relative safety of animal-spotting from a vehicle. Guides are well informed and knowledgeable about the park’s animals. |
