Elephant safaris(one or two-hour safaris into the park in the early morning or late afternoon. Mainly targeting rhino sightings).
Rafting through the park(one of the best ways to travel through the park. This easy rafting trip starts at the spectacular Karnali bridge and finishes near the Elephant Stables. There are swimming opportunities, and you can see a wide variety of parks and wildlife. Hopefully including Gangetic dolphins. The tour also includes some short jungle walks and breaks at good wildlife viewing spots. The tour finishes with a fun local ox-cart ride back to the lodge).

Bird Watching walks (morning and afternoon walking tours from the lodge, in surrounding areas, and into the park)
Cycling (a variety of short or full-day cycling tours to visit black buck habitats, and tiny local villages where you can see and learn about the life of the local Tharu community).
Gharial crocodiles trip(drive from the lodge to see native Gharial crocodiles basking on the river bank. There’s also a great spot under a large bridge en route to the camp from Nepalgunj where we normally see both Gharial and Mugger crocodiles).
