Is the wildlife calling you? Here's why Nepal is the best holiday option for you and your family

If wildlife is your calling then Nepal is the best holiday option for you and your family. A road trip can turn out to be truly interesting as you drive from Kathmandu to Chitwan. Take our advise — choose a sturdy 4WD vehicle as some of the roads are not tarred and can turn out to be slightly bumpy too. Kids will love the view of the green shurbs, village culverts and smiling locals who will wave at you as you zip by.



Ecological consciousness is the way of life all around the Chitwan National Park zone of Nepal. Dotted with beautiful resorts that offer jungle safari under the guidance of a naturalist, this trip will lead you to make your own jungle book narrative. From India, you can fly directly to Kathmandu. From here, you can begin your road journey to Chitwan. The total distance from Kathmandu to Chitwan is approx 175 km and the road condition is good. A picturesque drive unfolds on the Tribhuvan Highway from Kathmandu to Naubise to the west. From Naubise, move ahead on the Prithvi Highway up to Narayanghat. Stop by at local eateries and enjoy the delicious Tharu cuisine. After a few selfie moments, proceed on the Mahendra Highway (also called East-West Highway). Drive at your own pace and by the end of the day as you reach Chitwan, the green environs will embrace you in a state of relaxation.
