Sauraha is a village in Nepal's Chitwan District situated close to the Rapti River and the Chitwan National Park, 23 km (14 mi) east of Narayangarh city. It is the eastern gateway to Chitwan National Park. Beginning literally as a small and quaint village of daub huts, houses and hotels, it has grown into a small town with hotels, resorts, restaurants, internet cafes, and gift shops.
The highlights of this park are the 500 Asian one-horned rhinoceros (One-Horned Rhino) and some hundred nocturnal Royal Bengal Tigers that live in the dense forests of the park. You will discover a lost world of towering trees and twisting vines, of pre-historic rhino and lumbering elephants, crocodiles, pythons and deer; brilliantly colored birds and if you are fortunate – the superb Royal Bengal Tiger. Sharing home with these are other animals like rhesus monkey, grey langur, and leopards. We also introduce you to another most important factor adding to the Chitwan experience – the colorful Tharu Culture, their way of living, culture and tradition and heart touching Tharu Dance. Be prepared for activities like jungle safari on elephant back, jungle walk, canoe ride, jeep drive, bathing and swimming with elephants and much more. And ask yourself one more question, “Ready to explore?”
