The park is easily accessible from 2 main tourist destinations 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 the jungle tour, on elephant back safari, cultural tours into those Tharu villages are worthy.

People who don't want to get into raft and thrill in the river rapids can go directly to the park by ground transport or by air.
