You will join the other people to go on the raft. It’s a half day raft. Lunch will be served at the river bank. After lunch you will continue your journey to Chitwan jungle safari.

Chitwan Jungle safari- You will arrive late afternoon to Chitwan national park after half day rafting. Our local coordinator will transfer you to the jungle resort. Next 3 days you will be in Chitwan National park doing various jungle adventure activities.

Upon arrival in Pokhara for trekking- After your jungle safari adventure in Chitwan you will travel to Pokhara by a tourist bus. It’s about 5 hours journey. Upon arrival in Pokhara you will be met by your trekking guide who would transfer you to the hotel accommodation. You will rest for few hours and in the evening your guide will come and brief you about the Trekking.

Trekking: Wake up early morning, grab some breakfast and leave for trekking. This is fully guided trip so you will be accompanied by our guide while trekking. Accommodation and food will be arranged at the local tea houses.

A good runner and warm jacket should be alright. It’s very easy and low altitude trekking. But it really depends on the season. Please let us know beforehand so we would be able to advise you on what to bring.
