After a delicious breakfast, we'll begin our 5-hour trip from Kathmandu to Chitwan. Upon arrival, you will be taken to your accommodation for relaxation and birdwatching around the lodge. Chitwan is a district in Nepal that is home to the World Heritage-listed reserve Chitwan National Park, which is one of Nepal's top tourist attractions. 

The hotel Chitwan Gaida Lodge will give overnight accommodations.

On this day, you will be taken on a wildlife safari of the reserve, where you will be able to join in activities such as Dugout Canoeing, Bird Watching, Wildlife Safari, and Nature Walk. You will be returned to your Chitwan Gaida Lodge for the night.

We will reach the Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve in Eastern Nepal's Saptari and Sunsari districts by car in about six hours. It is situated on the Sapta Koshi's flood plains. The Reserve provides vital habitat for many different species of wildlife. 

The reserve is popular for bird watching.

We will spend the entire day strolling around and viewing birds in the Koshi Tappu wildlife reserve. This region has been a good habitat for numerous bird species due to the thin Indian Rosewood forest. The greatest spot to observe the bird is between the camp and Kusaha.
