Chitwan National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Nepal's subtropical lowlands, is home to one-horned rhinos, Bengal tigers, and over 500 species of birds. Our conservation volunteers spend their days supporting park rangers and local conservation staff with habitat monitoring, community outreach, and anti-poaching awareness work.
A typical day starts early with a briefing from the local conservation team, followed by fieldwork , this might mean assisting with grassland management, participating in wildlife monitoring walks, or helping maintain community buffer-zone plantations that reduce human-wildlife conflict. Afternoons often include visits to nearby schools for environmental education sessions with local children.
Volunteers stay in a homestay just outside the park boundary, sharing meals with a host family and getting a genuine feel for life in a Tharu community. Evenings are free to relax by the Rapti River or join a guided walk to spot wildlife from a safe distance.
This isn't a safari , it's hands-on conservation work in one of Asia's most important protected areas, and the impact of your two weeks stays with the park long after you've gone home.
