Sitting in a comfortable chair and writing about one of the popular tourist places of Nepal gives me great joy. All I want to do right now is pack my bags and dive into the wilderness of Chitwan. Anyone would want to know how the wild animals live, what they eat and what they do on a daily basis. Sometimes I feel like animals are much better than human beings but then I saw a video of a tiger grabbing that deer and tearing it apart, I realized they are dangerous too. The wild animals are beautiful creatures of nature. They should be preserved from extinction. Chitwan National Park is home to a number of such rare animals and birds.

When you hear of Nepal, the thought of mountains and hills and green forests hit your mind. However, there is more to Nepal than just mountains and hills. The diverse landscapes and natural beauties are what makes this small country special. Being geographically diverse, Nepal offers a lot more. This article is going to cover few things about Chitwan and Chitwan National park which is located in the southern part of Nepal.
