Begin your safari adventure with a peaceful canoe ride down the Rapti River in a traditional dugout canoe. Drift silently downstream while spotting gharial crocodiles basking on riverbanks, marsh mugger crocodiles, kingfishers, herons, egrets, storks, and cormorants.

After dinner, experience traditional Tharu culture through a captivating stick dance performance. The Tharu people are indigenous to Nepal's Terai region and have lived alongside the jungle for centuries. Watch colorful traditional costumes, live folk music with traditional instruments, and learn about Tharu history and their relationship with the forest.
