Hosted by the Regional Hotel Association Sauraha, the Chitwan Elephant and Tourism Festival seeks to allure visitors during the festive Christmas and New Year holidays. This festival stands as a beacon of cultural eminence and wildlife appreciation, promising a redefined experience this year.

Renewing its approach, stakeholder discussions prioritize hosting exclusively elephant-friendly activities. Acknowledging past concerns over elephant welfare, this year’s festivities exclude activities like football, polo, and elephant races.

Focusing on more compassionate events, the festival showcases elephant picnics and an enchanting elephant beauty pageant. These events are supplemented by boat races, tourist conferences, and seminars, enhancing the experience for attendees.

With a core focus on conservation, 40 elephants, including 30 privately owned, participate in the forest feast (Elephant picnic). This emphasizes the festival’s commitment to ensuring the well-being and health of these majestic creatures.

Shifting the location to Mainahachaur, Chitrasari, Sauraha from the Baghmara Central Community Forest, nestled within Chitwan National Park, this event traditionally attracts domestic and international tourists. It offers glimpses of diverse wildlife and stunning landscapes.

The Chitwan Elephant Festival aims to redefine tourist entertainment, coinciding with the English New Year, promising a significant influx of local and foreign tourists. Prepare for an immersive experience celebrating wildlife and culture.
