Trip Overview

Our Kathmandu to Chitwan drop by Car service offers a convenient and comfortable transfer between two of the most popular cities of Nepal, Kathmandu and Chitwan. The journey starts in the bustling capital city of Kathmandu, known for its vibrant culture, historical landmarks, and lively streets. As you leave the city's confines, the road gradually reveals the picturesque landscapes of rural Nepal, characterised by terraced fields, rolling hills, and quaint villages.

The highlight of this journey is undoubtedly the visit to the Manakamana Temple, which is nestled on a hilltop and is accessible by a scenic cable car ride from the base station in Kurintar. This temple is one of the most sacred pilgrimage sites in Nepal, dedicated to the goddess Bhagwati. Believers flock here with the hope that their wishes will be granted, as the name "Manakamana" itself means "wishes from the heart." The cable car ride offers breathtaking views of the surrounding valleys, rivers, and mountains, making it a memorable part of the trip. The temple's serene environment and spiritual ambiance provide a tranquil break from the drive, allowing travellers to immerse themselves in the local traditions and religious practices.

Continuing the journey, the road descends towards Chitwan, which is renowned for its rich biodiversity and the Chitwan National Park. The national park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a haven for wildlife enthusiasts, offering sightings of rare species such as the Bengal tiger, one-horned rhinoceros, and various bird species. The drive itself is a blend of scenic beauty and excitement, transitioning from the hills to the subtropical plains of the Terai region. Arriving in Chitwan, travellers can look forward to engaging in activities like jungle safaris, elephant rides, and cultural tours with the indigenous Tharu community. This car package not only provides a seamless travel experience but also ensures that travellers can enjoy the diverse attractions at their own pace, making it a perfect blend of adventure, spirituality, and nature.
