At the foot of the Himalayas, Chitwan is one of the few remaining undisturbed vestiges of the Terai region. It has a particularly rich flora and fauna. One of the last populations of single-horned Indian rhinoceros lives in Chitwan National Park, which is also one of the last refuges of the Bengal tiger. Other threatened mammals living in the park include leopards, wild dogs, gaur and the sloth bear. Some other mammals include elephants, sambar, chital, hog deer, barking deer, wild pig, monkeys, otter, porcupine, yellow-throated marten, civet, fishing cat, jungle cat, jackal, striped hyena and the Indian fox. Aquatic species include the gangetic dolphin, the mugger crocodile and the endangered gharial. Over 350 reported bird species live here including the greater hornbill, Sengal florican, peafowl, crested serpent-eagle, Himalayan grey-headed fishing eagle and white-back vulture. Ruddy shelduck and bar-headed goose winter on the rivers. The threatened Indian python also lives within the park and 99 fish species inhabit the rivers and oxbow lakes. Royal Chitwan National Park, one of the Asia's best national parks, is well known for prolofic wildlife. Here you can experience an elephant back safari for viewing wild animals in the natural habitat.
