Yes, visiting Tharu village is part of the Chitwan trip. As per our plan, we will take you to ethnic Tharu village on the first day of our trip in the afternoon.

Tharu people lived here a long time, before this area even became a national park. They have their own culture, different dress, language, and food, which are very fascinating to witness. You’ll see their houses, made from mud and grass, very cool inside, no fan needed. Still traditional style.

We go slowly, walk through the village, say hello to people; they are friendly, always smiling. In the evening, there will be a cultural show or a documentary presentation highlighting Chitwan’s wildlife and conservation efforts. They perform Tharu dance — Lathi Nach, the stick dance, very famous. Boys and girls dance with sticks and drums, all in rhythm — you’ll enjoy it, for sure. Sometimes you can join in, just for fun.

If you’re lucky, the local family may offer tea or even a simple meal — roti, curry, things like that. Good chance to sit with them, talk, even with a few words. Don’t worry about language — smile and Namaste work everywhere!

Tharu people live close to the jungle, they know the animals, plants, and weather — they live a very natural life. Simple but strong. You’ll feel good energy from them while interacting with these locals and learning about their history and traditions.

Yes, our Chitwan tours do support conservation and local community projects — it’s very important for us. We have prepared this tour package apart from showing you the jungle; we’re also trying to protect it and support the people who live here.

First of all, we don’t promote elephant riding — we’re fully against it. We believe in responsible tourism, so we only support places that treat animals right. Instead, we focus on natural activities like jeep safaris, jungle walks, and canoeing — better for both animals and people.

We follow eco-friendly and sustainable practices. That means we work with local and professional tour guides, use lodges/hotels that care about waste and water use, and make sure tourism helps the area, not harms it.

We also support Tharu community projects. For example, we include cultural programs that help preserve their traditional dances, music, and way of life. Many of our guides and staff in Chitwan are from the Tharu community, so your visit directly supports their jobs and families.

We always encourage our guests to try local food — dal bhat, dhido, gundruk — and to buy handmade Tharu crafts like baskets, paintings, and jewelry. It helps small local businesses and keeps their culture alive.

Yes, we understand many travelers care deeply about animal welfare — and we do too. That’s why we don’t support elephant riding or any activities that involve cruelty or stress to elephants. Instead, we promote responsible elephant experiences — ones that focus on observation, education, and respect.

Some  centers in Chitwan offer elephant walks, where you can walk beside elephants, not on them, and watch how they move, eat, and interact in a natural setting. You might also get to feed them fruits — just simple, respectful interaction — and learn how they’re cared for by their mahouts (keepers). These elephants are not made to perform or carry people. They just live in peace, and you get to observe their natural behavior.

We also encourage visits to the Elephant Breeding Center, which is more about education than tourism. Here, you’ll learn how elephants are raised and trained — not for shows, but for jungle patrol and anti-poaching work. These elephants help protect the forest and reduce human-elephant conflict in nearby villages.

At the same time, we advise our guests to avoid bathing or swimming with elephants. It might look fun, but many times it requires stressful training for the animal. We only support places that put the elephants’ well-being first, with enough space, food, rest, and no forced interaction.

Yes, absolutely — you can combine the Chitwan tour with other destinations like Pokhara, Lumbini, or even trekking routes. We offer full customization options based on your travel plans, interests, and schedule.

Whether you want to include a day tour in Pokhara, sightseeing in Kathmandu, or add trekking before or after Chitwan, we can design the itinerary for you. If you already have a plan, just share it — or if you're not sure, we're happy to help create one that fits your needs.

Chitwan National Park was established in 1973 as Nepal’s first national park. At first, it was called Royal Chitwan National Park and covered 932 sq. km. The park was created to protect animals like the one-horned rhino and Bengal tiger. In 1977, it was expanded to 952.63 sq. km.

It became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984. A buffer zone was added in 1996 to help local communities. In 2006, the name changed to just Chitwan National Park after Nepal ended its monarchy. It’s now one of the best places in Nepal to see wildlife and learn about nature.

Chitwan National Park is approximately 150 km (93 miles) from both Balaju and Thamel in Kathmandu. The journey typically takes around 5-6 hours by bus or a slightly shorter 35 minutes by flight. The road distance from Balaju or Thamel to Chitwan is roughly 150 km.
