Baghmara & Kumroj Community Forests
बाघमारा / कुम्रोज सामुदायिक वन
Community-managed buffer zone forests on either side of Sauraha, with watchtowers and jungle walks at lower fees than the national park.
Baghmara (west of Sauraha) and Kumroj (east) are forests within the buffer zone of Chitwan National Park, managed by local communities. Entry revenue goes toward community development and conservation. You can take jungle walks with a licensed guide, go canoeing, or climb watchtowers (machan) to observe rhinos, deer and birds. Some activities can start by bicycle or on foot, and their fees are lower than entry to the park's core area. A guide is required. Wear earth-toned clothing and keep quiet.
