You will go on an elephant-back safari to the tiger’s protected region, jungle walks, canoe ride, bird watching and visiting the indigenous village around.

Cultural Wonders of the Ethnic Tharus

In addition to the jungle safari activities, cultural wonders of the indigenous Tharu people add more charm on the trip.
