For a country known
for its beautiful mountains, the Gangetic flat lands of the
Terai that stretches through out the southern part of Nepal
provide a wholly different experience. A visit to Nepal remains
incomplete without seeing the beauty of the Terai.
And Chitwan is the best place to do so. The Royal Chitwan
National Park, established in 1973, provides a great wildlife
experience with its rich flora and fauna –read further
for more details. The wildlife and the landscape are not as
breathtaking as those found in Africa but still, the experience
will stand out.
Chitwan is only 150m above the sea
level. The place gets steamy from March-June, with peak temperatures
reaching 43°C in the shade. Short grass makes Feb-May
the best game-viewing season, but the autumn months are gorgeous,
with Himalayan views, and in winter (December-January), Chitwan
is pleasantly warmed compared to Kathmandu. The monsoon season
(July-August) is intense, with pounding rain, swollen rivers,
and luxuriant vegetation. While the rain isn't constant, the
humidity is all pervasive.
