It particularly has rich flora and fauna and one of the last populations of single-horned Asiatic rhinoceros dwell freely in this park and it is also one of the last refuges of the magnificent Royal Bengal Tiger. Surrounding Chitwan National Park in southern Nepal is one of the best planned and most intelligently developed tourist areas of Nepal.
