Monsoon Season - We do not run this tour during the monsoon
season, as the rafting isn't possible, exploring the National Parks is hard work, and there is a high risk of landslides causing
long delays to the overland journeys.
Good Rafting - Late September to November is a good time to do this tour, with fine weather and high water in the rivers, though the water is colder towards the start of the season.
Wildlife viewing is good in Chitwan, though the elephant grass gets
longer as the season progresses, reducing the possibility to see some
species.
Winter Season - We do not generally run this tour during
the winter months of December to February as the river water is very
cold for the rafting section. We can still run the tour privately for a minimum
of 6 people however.
Best Viewing - Late February to May is an ideal time to do
this tour, as the weather is good and the water is warmer for the
rafting. The elephant grass is
cut in Chitwan National park during this season which gives better
wildlife viewing opportunities. It does get hot towards the end of the
season, so March & April are ideal months.
