Later in the afternoon, you will proceed toward the lodge. Driving through the Terai or the low-lands of Nepal, you will pass villages of the farming community. Alluvial and humus rich soil ensures good harvests making Chitwan perhaps the richest agricultural valley in Nepal. After an hour's drive, you will arrive at your destination. Your Lodge is strategically located close to the Rapti river and Chitwan National Park entrance.
Tea is served upon arrival and rooms allocated.
You will proceed directly to the elephant boarding area for your first encounter with them. After a short briefing, you will proceed on elephant-back into the Royal Chitwan National Park in search of animals, reptiles, birds and other denizens of the jungle. The elephant ride will be between one to two hours. Shortly thereafter, dinner will be served at the restaurant, after which you are advised to retire to your room early as the next day's program starts before sunrise. Wake up call at dawn.
