Chitwan & the Terai in June
The monsoon usually breaks around the middle of June. Rivers rise, grass grows fast and many jungle lodges close until autumn. Leeches appear on forest trails. Rice planting fills the Tharu fields with people, which is a fine thing to see from a car window, but this is not a wildlife month. Lodges cut their rates and some close in late May or June, so confirm before you book.
