Hidden Chitwan: Machan Camping & Wildlife Adventure

Discover the hidden side of Chitwan on a 3-day private tour from Kathmandu. Sleep in a tent on a traditional Machan platform, watch the sunset at Golghat, and explore the wetlands of Bishazari Tal.
Embark on a private 3-day adventure from Kathmandu to explore the hidden and quieter side of Chitwan, beyond the busy tourist center of Sauraha. This experience combines private transportation, Madi Valley, traditional Machan tent camping, wildlife and birdwatching, Golghat sunset, the Rapti-Narayani river confluence, peaceful Patihani, and Bishazari Tal (Twenty Thousand Lakes).

Day 1: Kathmandu to Madi
Begin with a private pickup from your Kathmandu hotel in a private car or van with an experienced English-speaking guide/driver. Travel approximately 180 km toward Chitwan and continue to Madi Valley.

After arriving in Madi, stay overnight in a tent placed on an elevated traditional wooden Machan. The Machan is a raised wooden platform in the Terai used for observing the surrounding landscape and wildlife. Sleep in a tent, not inside the Machan. Tent, pillow, and sleeping bag are provided. Dinner is included.

The evening offers an authentic wilderness atmosphere and opportunities to observe wildlife and birds depending on season, weather, and natural conditions. Possible wildlife includes rhinoceros, deer, and many bird species. Tigers may be present in the wider Chitwan landscape, but sightings are never guaranteed.

Day 2: Madi to Golghat and Patihani
After breakfast, travel toward western Chitwan and visit Golghat, a peaceful riverside area associated with the confluence of the Rapti and Narayani rivers. Enjoy the landscape and watch the sunset.

After sunset, continue to Ghatgai/Patihani and stay overnight at a hotel in this peaceful riverside area. Depending on natural conditions, you may have opportunities for wildlife and bird observation in the surrounding area.

Day 3: Bishazari Tal
After breakfast, travel to Bishazari Tal, also known as Twenty Thousand Lakes. Explore this peaceful wetland area by private vehicle and look for wildlife and migratory birds. The guide assists with wildlife observation and explains the natural environment. Sightings depend on season and natural conditions.

After the exploration, return to Kathmandu by private vehicle. Lunch is included.
