Wild and exotic Chitwan, chasing the heritage-level Asian single-horned rhinoceros in the jungle

I flew from Chongqing to Kathmandu on Himalaya Airlines on December 12th, departing at 16:25, just passing through the Himalayas at sunset, it's really beautiful. The first stop is Chitwan, which is the last refuge for the Asian single-horned rhinoceros. It was once the winter hunting ground for the royal family and the upper class, and it has also been poached by locals. At the worst time, there were only about 60 rhinos left. In 1973, Chitwan established Nepal's first national park. Among the more than 700 species of animals in Nepal, most of them live in groups in Chitwan. In 1984, the park was listed as a World Natural Heritage. Now, the number of rhinos has recovered to nearly 700. Bengal tigers, crocodiles, deer, bears, leopards, and various birds and migratory birds are all living happily in Chitwan. The early morning in Chitwan, the mist is lingering on the Napudi River, accompanied by the bird's song, and the heart of the forest, Chitwan, is visited by a canoe. Early morning and evening are when wild animals come out to forage, and it's also time for the crocodiles in the Rapti River to enjoy breakfast. In Chitwan, in addition to off-road vehicle safaris and elephant riding, following the guide into the jungle to find the Asian single-horned rhinoceros is also very ceremonial. Although rhinos are herbivores, they occasionally hurt people. So some people will die under the horn of a rhino, and some will die in the mouth of a tiger. When touring the park, be sure to follow the local professional guide. The Tharu people's village is next to the jungle, and their work in the forest is also somewhat risky. In Chitwan National Park in Nepal, the hardest to encounter are Bengal tigers, bears, leopards, followed by Asian single-horned rhinos, turtles, monkeys, the easiest are two kinds of deer, crocodiles, peacocks and various birds. At the hotel, I also encountered a grand traditional Nepalese wedding, which is rare. Tips: Himalaya Airlines has direct flights in four cities in China, namely Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, and Qingdao. Among them, Beijing has one flight every Friday, Shanghai has one flight every Saturday, Chongqing has every Tuesday and Saturday, and Qingdao has two flights every Thursday and Sunday.
