Immersive
For those who want to go slow and deep — every safari mode, the great rivers, the wetlands, and nights in a Tharu village.
The Arc of the Trip
Five days in the Terai
Arrive & ease in
Settle in Sauraha, an afternoon canoe on the Rapti and a riverside sunset to find the rhythm of the place.
Full-day jeep safari
Deep into the park toward Kasara — grasslands, the gharial breeding centre and the best odds of rhino, deer and, with luck, tiger sign.
Narayani River boat & birding
A boat trip on the larger Narayani for gharial, mugger and the rare Gangetic dolphin (season and water levels permitting), plus a dawn birding session.
Tharu homestay & culture
Move to a buffer-zone village homestay — village life, cooking, the cultural museum, and an authentic evening of music and dance.
Wetlands & slow farewell
A final morning at the Bis Hajar Tal wetlands for birds, then an unhurried departure.
Plan the practicalities
When to come, getting here, what to pack and staying safe.
