OVERVIEW

What is the 2 nights 3 days package?

Our 2 nights, 3 days Chitwan safari package is the most popular way to experience Chitwan in a short stay. Based at Rhino Lodge & Hotel in Sauraha, it bundles everything into one simple, all-inclusive price from USD 215 per person: two nights’ accommodation, all your meals, and the three classic Chitwan activities — a jeep safari into the national park, a Canoe Ride on the Rapti River and a guided Jungle walk — all led by licensed naturalists, with park permits arranged. You just arrive; we take care of the rest. It’s ideal for families, couples and first-time visitors who want a complete taste of the jungle over a long weekend, and it can be tailored or extended with extra nights and experiences.

Highlights

Why choose this package

Three days is just enough for Chitwan’s greatest hits and this package packs them in without the planning.

Everything is organised, priced up front and run by a family lodge that has welcomed safari guests since 1984.
