THINGS TO DO

The things worth doing in Chitwan, from the obvious landmarks to the ones locals actually rate.

Shantiko Kitchen

Sauraha favourite that funds an elephant welfare NGO. Good food, and free popcorn while you wait.

KC's Restaurant

Long-standing garden restaurant off the main road, now with a pool. The reliable dinner in town.

Skip the elephant ride

Rides and bathing have been wound back on welfare grounds. Choose jeep, canoe or foot - better wildlife anyway.

Cycle the buffer zone

Rent a bike in Sauraha and ride the flat lanes through Tharu villages and community forest.

Friends Cafe

Rooftop breakfast and coffee off the main road - where you plan the day before it gets too hot.
