The Royal Chitwan National Park is the first national park of Nepal established in 1973 to preserve a unique ecosystem significantly valuable to the whole world. The park covering a pristine area of 932 sq. km. is situated in the subtropical inner Terai lowlands of southern central part of Nepal. The park has gained much wider recognition in the world when UNESCO included thsi areas on the list of World Heritage Site in 1984.
In 1963, the area south of Rapti was demarcated as rhinoceros sancutary. In 1970, His late Majesty King Mahendra had approved in principle the creation of Royal Chitwan National Park.

Guided Village Tour
The last remaining Tharu settlement inside the boundary of the park is well worth a visit. An ox-cart can take you or you can walk the 6km. through the park area. The Tharu are the indigenous people of the Chitwan valley. Prior to the USAID sponsored malaria eradication campaign in the fifties, for twelve hundred years they were the only people able to live in the heavily forested Terai belt, due to their resistance to malaria. Their way of life differs widely from that of the immigrants from the hills and remains the same today as it was hundred years ago. The village are going to be relocated in the coming years due to increasing pressure from UNESCO and WWF, as Royal Chitwan National Park has now been declared a world nature heritage side.
