4 Best Things To Do In The Chitwan District Of Nepal

Chitwan is one of the 75 districts in Nepal and its name comes from the Chitwan Valley, one of the well-known Inner Terai Valleys between the Siwalik and Mahabharat ranges, at the foothills of the Himalayas. Other than this, Chitwan is also known to provide a different picture of Nepal. It is usually depicted to be all about the altitude of the highlands - snowcapped mountains, temples, and tea treks. However, Chitwan embodies the lifestyle of the flatland and the culture of its people. That said, the Chitwan district is different in the sense that it is quite agricultural in nature. You’ll find a lot of millet, wheat, barley, soybeans, and potatoes in the typical diet, unlike the usual meat and dairy based diet of the rest of the Nepalese. There are a lot of shopping districts and restaurants in the area, so if you’re visiting, be sure to check out some of the food items they have to offer. If you’ve been wondering what it feels like to live in the foothills of the Himalayas, be sure to check out the Inner Terai, part of which is Chitwan. Here are some of the main places of interest in this area:

What Lies Beyond Kathmandu: Exploring Southern Nepal

Most tourists usually flock to Northern Nepal where Kathmandu (The City of Temples) or Bhaktapur (The City of Culture), are. However, unbeknownst to many, there are also plenty of things to see in Southern Nepal, especially if you want to escape the frenzy of tourists or if you want to see something a bit more natural and rustic. So much of Southern Nepal is still untamed forest. Certainly, this makes it ideal for those who really want to go off the beaten path. Unlike Northern Nepal where the high Himalayas are, Southern Nepal is mostly flatland, which makes it ideal for swaps, grasslands and savannas. A good part of it has also been converted into agricultural land. Southern Nepal is also called Terai, which means the low-lying lands at the foot of the Himalayas. Some people also refer to it as Tarai. So much of Terai was once a part of India rather than Nepal, before it was given as a gift by the British to what was once a united Kingdom of Nepal. Certainly, the culture of India remains strong here, especially since a lot of those from India have already chosen to reside here. So if you want to venture off the known areas of Nepal, here are four places in Terai or Southern Nepal that might strike your fancy:
