Never go without a guide. Their expertise is the surest protection against danger. Their knowledge of the trees, grasses, animal tracks and animal behavior, not to mention their tales of first hand experiences, also enrich and enliven the walk.
Jungle treks, generally lasting two or three days, are organized by all the good Chitwan resorts, providing a vivid, first-hand experience of jungle life. Itineraries take visitors into the Churia hills where wild elephants still roam. At Sauruha guides are available for independent hire on a one-to-one or small-group basis. One of the most popular two-day treks goes from Sauruha via the Lami Valley to Kasara. There the river is crossed to Jagatpur for a night spent in a village inn. Next morning the bus is taken to Gitanagar from where the trek is resumed, following the watercourse to the myriad small lakes of the Bis Hajaar Valley before returning to Sauruha the same evening. Trekkers are expected to provide their own food though packed meals can be obtained from the inns.
