Rhinos, river canoes, and great food after our trek
Heading down to Chitwan after our mountain trek was honestly the perfect way to slow down and relax. The jeep safari was definitely a highlight—we were lucky enough to spot two wild one-horned rhinos, along with plenty of birds and other wildlife. The river canoe trip was just as enjoyable, especially seeing crocodiles resting along the riverbanks.
After the adventure-filled days, coming back to the resort felt like a real treat. The air-conditioned room was comfortable, the Wi-Fi worked well, and the dinner buffet had so many delicious options. It was the perfect combination of wildlife, relaxation, and a little bit of comfort after trekking in the mountains.

Amazing Jungle Safari with Eco Holidays Nepal
I wanted to do a jungle safari and found Eco Holidays Nepal for the trip. I met Mr. Dhruba, who was very helpful in organizing everything.
We started the safari, and it was an incredible experience. The highlight of the trip was seeing a one-horned rhino with my own eyes a truly unforgettable moment. That one sighting made the entire trip feel like a big success. Highly recommended...
