Royal
Chitwan National Park
Nepal's first
and most famous national park is situated in
the lowlands of inner Terai. Covering an area of 932 sq. km the park includes
hilly areas covered by deciduous forest. This ecologically diverse area
is the last remaining home in Nepal for more than 300 of the endangered
Asian one-horned rhinoceros and harbors one of the largest population of
the elusive and rare Royal Bengal Tiger. Beside the Rhino and Tiger,
Chitwan also supports a great variety of flora and fauna. There are four
species of deer, including the spotted Chital, Leopard, Sloth bear, Wild
boar, rhesus monkey, Grey Langur monkey, wild dog, small wild cats, the
white gaur (the world's largest wild cattle) and many other smaller animals.
In a stretch of the Narayani River is found one of the few remaining of
populations of the rare and
endangered fish-only eating Gharial or Gangetic crocodile. For the ornithologist
and the amateur bird watcher the park offers excellent possibilities with
more than 450 species.
