Chitwan National Park - Gavial Breeding Centre

The Gavial Breeding Center is situated on the banks of the Rapti River near Kasara. Here the long-snouted gavial has been bred since 1980. A 35 per cent survival rate for the young (compared with 2 per cent in the wild) testifies to the success of the operation. More than 300 crocodiles have already been released in the rivers of Chitwan.
