Chitwan is one of the finest national Parks in Asia,renowned for its dense concentration of wildlife and top class tourist lodges,which provides the opportunity to see animals in their natural habitat.
Chitwan which means the heart of the jungle is among the last surviving examples of the continuous band of forests and grasslands which once extended from the Indus river in Pakistan to the Burmese border.
