Spotting creatures in the wild: Take an elephant safari or watch the peacock dance in Chitwan, Nepal

WILDLIFE TRAIL IN WINTER
Region: Chitwan
Located in the Terai belt of Nepal, Chitwan boasts of muddy grassland, forests and evergreen wildlife. Winter season is the ideal time to go spotting wild animals here as rare birds and mammals emerge from the tall lush foliage. During sunset hour by the River Rapti, many animals come to quench their thirst and here’s where the most outstanding images can be captured.


Watch the peacock dance in the gorgeous Himalayan landscape. The Everest base camp is also situated in Nepal and attracts hikers and tourists from across the globe.

ELEPHANT SAFARI: Seated high on the back of a trained elephant, we suggest you explore the grassland area of Terai region. As birds chirp and branches criss-cross in front of your leisurely commute, feel one with nature and breathe deep. Rejoice during the elephant safari, which can be an amazing experience as you go spotting rhinoceros pacing around in the forest. Elephant treks in Chitwan are offered by all authorised lodges and travel agencies.
