"go explore the surroundings and the villages" Royal Chitwan Things to Do Tip by josephescu

Get out of the tourist camps and go explore the surroundings.

A visit to a nearby village was included in the programme. While this was a good opportunity to learn about the social issues since the eradication of malaria and the problems with the growing population around the nature reserve, I enjoyed walking through the fields and watching life in one of its most simple forms – with no need to rush, I took my time to observe the day-to-day scenes – children at play or at school, women cooking or washing in front of the house, local crafts in progress. I witnessed idyllic views of un-historic scenes, with endless fields with the bright yellow of mustard flowers.
I got a taste of the real Nepal in the midst of the nature, far away from cars and noises of cities.
