Muir's Tours - Wildlife - Nepal

Chitwan National Park and the adjacent Parsa Wildlife Reserve contain the largest, least disturbed sal forest in the world, a haven for wildlife. Chitwan Jungle Lodge are proud to be pioneers of environmentally sensitive nature tourism in Nepal. The Lodge is used as a model throughout Asia. We believe that responsible and controlled tourism can benefit conservation and indigenous people.

Chitwan Jungle Lodge lies on the edge of the Chitwan National Park, on the banks of the river Rapti. Listen to the sounds of nature, the bird song, the rustle of deer in the bushes or the tempting call of elephants. From the moment you wake at dawn to roam through the jungle on elephant back, to the quiet talk around the camp fire at day's end: Chitwan Jungle Lodge is an unforgettable experience.

Some guests like to mix with the locals

Built from natural materials it blends perfectly with its jungle surroundings and offers luxurious facilities. All the individual bungalows at Chitwan Jungle Lodge are perfectly blended with the forest. The rooms are tastefully decorated with private solar powered hot (or cold) showers.

What You May See
The royal bengal tiger and the freshwater dolphin are elusive but you will probably see great one horned rhino, sloth bears, bison, wild boar, deer, various monkeys, crocodile and a large number of the 489 or so species of bird. You will not miss seeing the elephant because you will be sat on it as you safely wander through the jungle.    More Facts

The Lodge

To fully experience the jungle you need to live in it day and night, and that is what you will do. The lodges are built of natural materials and blend in very well with the surroundings. The rooms are comfortable and attractive and have the added convenience of ensuite bathroom (western style pan), with hot and cold tapped water.

There are two packages available, or you can have your own design of safari staying as long as you wish.

The two night package, includes jungle safaris twice daily on elephant back, time in the observation tower, slide shows and lectures to prepare you for each safari into the jungle, the chance to wash the elephant, a cultural show by the indigenous people, shared accommodation in a double room with western style toilet, all meals whilst in the park.

The three night package allows extra time which could be used to take the Land Rover excursion deep into the heart of the jungle (during dry conditions only), or additional time on an elephant safari or canoe trip, plus all the services as detailed for the two night package.
