Jungle Walking Safari in Chitwan National Park – A Peaceful Exploration of the Wild

Experience Chitwan National Park like never before on a Jungle Walking Safari. Unlike the speed of a jeep safari, jungle walking safari through the jungle allows you to immerse yourself in the sights, sounds, and smells of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. Whether you’re looking for a half-day adventure or a multi-day trek, this safari offers a more intimate and peaceful way to explore Chitwan’s diverse ecosystems and abundant wildlife.

Safari Overview

Duration:

Half Day: 6:30 AM to 10:30 AM or 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM

Full Day: 6:30 AM to 5:00 PM

Multi-Day: Up to 7 days for a deeper exploration of the park and surrounding areas.

Departure: Morning pick-up from your hotel in Sauraha.

A Walk Through Chitwan’s Habitats

The walking safari takes you through the park’s most pristine habitats, giving you the chance to get closer to nature in ways that a jeep safari can’t. As we walk, we’ll pass through:

Sal Forests: Dense forest areas that are home to countless species of birds, mammals, and plants.

Grasslands: Wide-open plains where you may encounter rhinos, deer, and a variety of bird species.

Rivers and Lakes: Stopping by tranquil waters, where crocodiles bask and animals come to drink, bathe, or cross.

Riverbanks: These peaceful spots are ideal for observing wildlife, and you may even catch a glimpse of wild elephants or tigers in the distance.

Walking through these areas, you will not only see wildlife but also experience the deeper, quieter side of the jungle. The slower pace allows you to connect with the environment, listen to the rustling of leaves, and observe animal tracks in the mud.

Wildlife Sightings

While walking, the types of wildlife you may encounter are similar to those on the Jeep Safari, including:

Great One-Horned Rhinoceros: These iconic creatures are often seen in the park’s grasslands.

Wild Elephants: Often spotted near rivers and in the deeper parts of the jungle.

Tigers: While sightings are rare, we may pass through areas where tigers have recently been spotted.

Sloth Bears and Wild Boars: These nocturnal animals may be encountered along the way.

Deers: Chitwan is home to four species of deer: sambar, chital, barking deer, and the rare hog dears.

Two Types of Monkeys: Rhesus macaques and gray langurs are often seen in the trees.

Crocodiles: Both gharial and marsh crocodiles inhabit the park’s rivers and lakes.

The slower pace of the walking safari means you’ll be able to get closer to nature, observing animals and birdlife without disturbing their natural behaviors.

Half-Day, Full-Day, and Multi-Day Walks

Depending on how much time you have, you can choose from a half-day, full-day, or multi-day walking safari. Each option offers something unique:

Half-Day Safari:

Morning: 6:30 AM to 10:30 AM

Afternoon: 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM
This is the perfect option if you’re short on time but still want a close-up experience of the park’s wildlife.

A full-day walking safari offers an extended opportunity to explore Chitwan’s diverse habitats, with a break for lunch along the way. This is ideal for those who want to see more and enjoy a longer, deeper experience of the jungle.

Multi-Day Safari:
For a truly immersive experience, you can opt for a multi-day walking safari, with durations of up to 7 days. This longer trek allows you to explore the park and surrounding areas, including remote villages and different habitats, while staying in local homestays along the way.
