Itinerary description
|
ROUTE ONLY ONE WAY, ON FOOT, MAINLY BY ROAD TO A TOWER IN THE JUNGLE OF THE CHITWAN NATURAL PARK, TO SPEND THE NIGHT IN IT.
This route, on the one hand, has allowed us to get to know the rural way of life, its daily customs, constructions, crops... And on the other, to live a different experience sleeping in the jungle, with the feeling of being an intruder in a dangerous environment. .
We returned by jeep.

This route is not described to serve as a guide. It collects subjective indications based on meteorology, hydrology and specific personal physical conditions.
