Overview of Tiger Tracking Tour in Chitwan

Tiger Tracking Tour in Chitwan is one of the most thrilling and adventurous activities one needs to experience in a lifetime. This is the tour is for those who want to know about the magnificent Royal Bengal tiger. This tour exposes you to tranquil nature full of wilderness and wildlife in the heart of Nepal’s oldest national park. Chitwan offers the chance to explore the habitat of the Royal Bengal tiger. Along with one-horned rhinoceroses, leopards, sloth bears, wild elephants, deer, crocodiles, and a wide variety of birdlife.

The tour combines focused tiger tracking with jeep safaris, guided jungle walks, canoe rides, birdwatching and authentic Tharu cultural experiences. As tiger sightings cannot be guaranteed, the experience goes beyond simply searching for a tiger. Guests learn to interpret pugmarks, fresh tracks, alarm calls, and prey behavior and other subtle signs that reveal the presence and movement of this elusive big cat.

The Royal Bengal Tiger (Panthera Tigris) is the biggest animal in the cat family. It is one of the most threatened animal species that sits at the top of the wildlife food chain and actively contributes to maintaining the ecosystem. The primary goal of this tour is to track the tigers on their trails and territories. Encounter them without causing any harm or disturbing them. Many tigers are tracked and encountered due to the experienced naturalists and nature guides in the park. Chance encounters with these magnificent tigers create long-lasting memories and a real wildlife experience.  During this tour, we come across an abundance of flora and fauna.

Besides thrilling experiences like tiger tracking, the Chitwan Tiger Tracking Tour also involves other wildlife activities. In addition, it includes a variety of wildlife-related activities, including elephant bathing, sunset watching, and jeep safaris. There are also visits to Tharu communities and breeding centers for elephants and crocodiles.

The months of September to November and March to April are ideal for visiting the park for tiger tracking as well as other wildlife. The jungle is less dense with low grass during this season, allowing for clear visibility of the surroundings. It is possible to spot wildlife in the wild, roaming freely.
