Chitwan National Park in Nepal is experiencing a surge in Indian tourist arrivals, even during the region’s peak summer heat. Tourism operators report a significant increase in visitors, particularly those originating from the Indian states of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. The town of Sauraha, a gateway to the national park, is benefiting from this influx. This rise in Indian tourism is providing a boost to the local economy despite challenging weather conditions. The park’s popularity as a destination is seemingly undiminished, attracting travelers willing to brave the heat. Officials attribute the increase to growing disposable incomes and increased travel awareness within these Indian states.
