Why Safari with Us?

Quality: For us, a sense of interconnectedness with society and luxury goes hand in hand with quality. This connection is something we can assure you of with this tour. As a result, we’ve planned this journey so that you won’t just be taking in the views but also creating lasting memories with us and the community that surrounds the Chitwan National Park. In particular, the Tharu community will take us to the realm of fraternity as we walk to them. We won’t just be mingling with the people but taking pictures, eating with them, and establishing a bond that would be cherished even beyond the end of the journey.

Giving back to the community: One of the strongest elements that improve society, in our opinion, is acknowledgment. Despite globalization, Nepal has entered the mainstream but has not yet been fully explored. Along with its mountains, Nepal is proud of its people, history, and origin, all of which are acknowledged by us Nepalese via the celebration of our existence. Therefore, with this tour, we hope to contribute to the recognition of those places in the country that have been walked around but not yet explored for its foundation. In Meghauli, it’s the Tharu community. By staying with them, we would be celebrating them, their culture, and their lifestyle. Just by hearing their stories, we would be cherishing them and filling them with content.

Likewise, while exploring wildlife, just being responsible will benefit the surrounding community to a degree beyond our imagination. By responsible, we mean not littering and going with the flow of the wildlife.
