Chitwan National Park

Chitwan National Park by Clyde

This is no African Safari and flora and fauna are varied but few in comparison. The main treat is seeing the Bengal tiger even if for a split second (while much more easy to spot in India). Next is the one-horned rhino and you're almost guaranteed to spot at least one grazing or by the river. There are different types of deer, boars, mongoose, monkeys and also the gharial crocodile to spot. I stayed in the only hotel that is actually inside the national park (as of 2013) to enjoy the experience to the full. Several activities to do such as the elephant safari (to mask human scent and have a better chance of spotting fauna), river safari (best for birdwatching), jungle walks (the most thrilling especially when wandering through the phanta grass). There are several types of birds but not in large quantities such as in Keoladeo in India. It is a very good national park but it did not impress me much as a WHS.
