Rapti River canoe safari to spot crocodiles and water birds

A dugout canoe glides silently across the Rapti River. Crocodiles sun themselves on the bank while water birds wait on branches. In the morning mist or afternoon light, the river becomes a slow path along the forest edge.

Staying quiet and avoiding sudden movements keeps wildlife undisturbed. Bring binoculars, a hat and insect repellent. Follow the guide's directions and keep your hands out of the water. Morning mist and late afternoon light are good times for watching.
