The park is easily accessible from 2 main tourist destination Kathmandu and Pokhara; by air, bus or after short river rafting. It has been known as most popular jungle tour destination in Nepal. Just outside the buffer zone of the park is home of culturally rich Tharu people. Along with the jungle tour on elephant back safari, cultural tours into those Tharu villages are worthy.
