Officially gazetted in 1973, this was the first area in Nepal to be declared a national park. Situated in the Rapti valley in the tropical lowlands of the inner Terai, it covers an area of 932 square kilometers. The rugged Churia hills, sal tree forests, grasslands and riverrun forests, including swamps and lakes made by changing river courses, provide excellent habitat for unusually rich variety of large mammals. It is one of the last strongholds of the Royal Bengal Tiger. Today there are only about a 1000 one-horned rhinos left in the World and over 300 of them are in the Jungles of Chitwan. There are "less than 2000 Tigers" remaining in the sub-continent and over 40 live in Chitwan alone. There are many other animals such as deer, Gharial (fish-eating Crocodile), Alligators, Wild Buffaloes, Sloth Bear, Hog Deer and Wild Peacocks & TIGERS in Chitwan.
