Is there any way to make it to the tour bus in time? Or is there any way to get different transportation to the National Park?

You will have an option to choose a private car transportation to reach national park on same day. The bus to Chitwan departs early in the morning.

I don't eat meat or dairy. So I can eat vegetarian food and eggs, but no milk products.

Thank you for letting us know about your food habit. Don't worry about it. We will arrange accordingly.

Am hoping to go to Pokhara after the tour. Is it possible to get a bus to Pokhara as part of this tour instead of back to Kathmandu?

We will have option to choose either to go Pokhara or Kathmandu after this tour. So you can drive to Pokhara instead of Kathmandu within the same cost.

Does the package include drop off service at/to the airport?

No, this package does not provide drop off services at/to the airport. However, we can provide you the services if you inform us earlier. The cost for drop off service at/to the airport is just USD $10 (one-way).

What time does the trip at Chitwan arrive back at Kathmandu?

The regular bus from Chitwan to Kathmandu arrive around 2pm-3pm. The bus park is closed to the tourist hub of Thamel, Kathmandu which is hardly 10 minutes walking distance.

Is it possible to change the elephant safari for Jeep 4*4?

Yes! It is possible to do Jeep safari instead of Elephant Back Safari.

Do you have Airport Pick Up facilities from the airport?

No, we do not have a pickup facility from the airport for this tour. But we will provide you a pickup service from the airport to the hotel if you need. For this, you have to pay extra amount. However, we provide pick up and drop off service from your hotel to Bus Park while you are heading towards Chitwan.

Hello Roy, Thank you for your time to send your review. We try our best to give a best possible experience to our customers, However, employing local guides, we use experts as per the attractions that results changing guides for each attraction. We will take your feed back as a constructive one. We strongly discourage using animals in our tours, that your experience about the chained elephants is a Elephant breedng center where the national park is trying to increase the endangered elepants. Thank you Orienal Journeys

My visit to Chitwan was absolutely worth-while. I saw a plethora of birds, crocodiles from on the boat tour, deer, a few wild gharials, a few rhinos, and even a bear! The facilities at the hotel were some of the best I've had in a while. The only downside is the where the bus had to stop when coming back, but it seems to be the only spot where the buses can stop in a city as congested as Kathmandu.Show more

The Nature Reserve is beautiful, the accommodation was great! I was lucky enough to see 4 rhinos, 1 sloth bear and loads of alligators / birds in 3 days. The agenda was different to what we did - I couldn't planned my flights differently had I known that day 3 we were going to do nothing, and day 1 was nothing but a walk. I was put on a public bus from Kathmandu with no one else from the group and very little information as to what was going on. I later found out that we were all put on different buses at the same time..... at the same place... When I was dropped off back in Kathmandu, I was dropped at the edge of the city and surrounded by beggars (I understand this is part of life in Kathmandu, but the tour website and staff said nothing about this!!) and had to get a taxi to my hotel. More importantly, I have a massive problem with how there was no mention of tourist elephants / the option to ride them on the website. I am normally so vigilant with things like this and felt completely ethically let down by the company. It was a big problem for me, hence the review.Show more

Hello Megan, Thank you for your words. It was a 3 days tour including a 6-7 hrs each way drive between Kathmandu - Chitwan- Kathmandu with less activities on first and third day. We are sad to receive your bad experience, however some of the experience you have mentioned were not the parts of our tour. The bus provided to you for the tour was not a public bus (that you know). It is a tourist coach and carries the domestic and international tourists every day between Kathmandu and Chitwan. You were only the travellers who booked through us for the departure date so, there is no question to put people in different buses. Our representative should have briefed you about the trip in the meeting, which is our routine task. We are strict on our policy to not to use tourist elephants to ride on. (But you might have seen others using, it is still existing in practice by some of the roperators). So, we do not have that option. We feel sorry about your encounter with beggers which is not usual in tourist bus parks/stops. Regards, Radhika
