A Typical Day During the Kathmandu, Chitwan, Lumbini, and Bardia Tour in Nepal
The 10-day tour can be divided into two sections. The first includes wildlife adventures in Chitwan and Bardiya.

You will return for lunch and enjoy the hotter part of the day resting by the veranda before leaving for the late-afternoon activities, which typically include a nature walk, a visit to a local Tharu village, or an excursion to the elephant-breeding center.
