Nepal's
first and most famous national park is situated
in the Chitwan Doon or the lowlands of the
Inner Terai. Covering an area of 932 sq km.
the park includes hilly areas of the Siwalik
Range covered by deciduous sal forest. One
fifth of the park is made up of the floodplains
of the Narayani, Rapti, and the Reu Rivers
and is covered by dense tall elephant grass
interspersed with riverine forests of silk
cotton (kapok), acacia and sisam trees. This
ecologically diverse area is the last remaining
home in Nepal for more than 300 of the endangered
Asian one-horned rhinoceros and harbours one
of the largest populations of the elusive
and rare Royal Bengal tiger. Besides rhino
and tiger, Chitwan also supports a great variety
of flora and fauna. There are four species
of deer, including the spotted chittal, leopard,
sloth bear, wild boar, rhesus monkey, grey
langur monkey, wild dog, small wild cats,
the white stockinged gaur (the world's largest
wild cattle) and many other smaller animals.
The swampy areas and numerous oxbow lakes
of Chitwan provide a home for marsh crocodiles.
In a stretch of the Narayani river is found
one of the few remaining populations of the
rare and endangered fish-only eating gharial,
or Gangetic crocodile. Here also is found
one of the world's four species of freshwater
dolphins. For the ornithologist and the amateur
bird-watcher the park offers excellent possibilities
with more than 450 species recorded. Some
of the resident specialities are several species
of woodpeckers, hornbills, Bengal florican,
and red-headed trogons. Winter birds such
as waterfowl, Brahminy duck, pintails and
bareheaded geese, amongst many other cold
weather visitors are drawn by the sanctuary
of the park's rivers. In the summer the forest
is alive with nesting migrants such as the
fabulous paradise flycatcher, the Indian pitta
and parakeets.
