Chitwan National Park is the most popular destination for
tourists wanting to have a good experience of the region's
wildlife. It was declared a National Park in 1973. In 1984,
UNESCO designated it as a Natural World Heritage Site. The
Park offers protection to 50 species of mammals including
the one-horned rhinoceros, Bengal tiger, leopard, sloth
bear, wild elephant, striped hyena, Gangetic dolphin and
wild bison. There are an estimated 50 species of mammals,
over 526 species of birds, 126 species of fish,150 species
of butterflies and 49 species of reptiles in the park! A
recent study also points out that over a third of Nepal's
tigers are in Chitwan.
The Park is spread over an area of 932 sq kms and located in
the lowlands of the kingdom. The forest cover is
predominantly sal, interspersed with tall grasslands, small
bills, ox- bow lakes and flood plains.
The best time to visit Chitwan is from October through
February, when the temperature averages 25 degrees Celsius.
The months of March - June can be extremely hot, while July-
September is the monsoon season when rivers swell and parts
of the park are inaccessible.
