## About

Start your day with a peaceful canoe ride along the calm Rapti River. It's a great chance to spot birds and see two rare types of crocodiles: the Marsh Mugger and the fish-eating Gharial, resting on the riverbanks.

After the canoe trip, take a guided walk through the jungle. Along the way, you’ll discover medicinal plants, colorful butterflies, and maybe even some shy animals hiding in the forest. On your way back, you can watch or join in the fun of bathing elephants in the river.

Enjoy a tasty lunch and relax before heading out again for an exciting safari in the afternoon. Keep an eye out for the famous one-horned rhinoceros, different types of deer, wild boars, monkeys, leopards, sloth bears, and if you're lucky, the rare Royal Bengal Tiger.

Wrap up your day with a cultural treat: a traditional Tharu dance performance that gives you a glimpse into the unique traditions and lifestyle of the local Tharu people.
