Questions travellers ask
Is October a good time to visit Chitwan & the Central Terai?
October brings clear skies, fresh green forest and the start of the main season. The grass is still tall, so rhinos are best seen from canoes and along the riverbanks, while tiger sightings are less frequent than in spring. Dashain and Tihar fill Sauraha with Nepali families, and Chhath, after Diwali, is a major festival at Janakpur's ponds. Book early for Diwali week, when Indian visitors arrive in large numbers.
