The tour was so wonderful, saw so many birds and animals! my guide Asook was amazing as well he was so kind and helpful and could spot everything!

Bianca – Vietnam

We would definitely recommend booking here! I unfortunately had food poisoning the night before we would go to chitwan, but the contact person was really nice and really tried to help me and think of other options to make it work. Eventually it was too bad, so we had to go a day later. On arrival the guide in chitwan altered the program in such a way, we still almost enjoyed everything in 3 days, we would otherwise had done in 4 days. Amazing! Definitely also go for the night in the tower, it’s a magical experience!
