Instead
of
using
an
agency,
I
went
straight
to
the
checkpoint
and
purchased
the
safari
directly
from
the
guide,
Jungle
Man,
who
is
in
the
last
photo.
There
is
only
one
official
operator
of
the
jeep
tours
inside
the
park,
and
all
the
agents
sell
the
same
offers.
I
received
offers
ranging
from
1600
to
2500
for
the
exact
same
trip.
Ultimately,
I
purchased
the
safari
directly
from
the
guide
for
1720,
which
included
the
entrance
fee
for
the
crocodile
farm.
Additionally,
I
paid
2000
for
the
permit,
which
is
valid
for
one
day
inside
the
park
and
one
day
in
the
perimeter
zone,
totaling
two
days.
Most
people
I
spoke
to
did
a
4-hour
jeep
safari
inside
the
park,
like
I
did,
and
a
4-hour
morning
hike
in
the
perimeter
area.
There
is
also
an
option
for
a
whole
day
hiking
safari,
but
I
don't
have
any
feedback
on
that
one.
We
also
encountered
at
least
three
pairs
of
hikers
inside
the
park.
Such
hikes
require
two
guides
for
protection.
Both
the
walk
inside
the
park
and
the
walk
in
the
perimeter
zone
were
highly
recommended
by
everyone
I
spoke
to.
They
mentioned
that
they
could
observe
animals
up
close,
and
since
the
walk
is
silent
and
there
are
only
a
few
people,
it
doesn't
scare
the
animals
away.
The
jeep
safari
was
fantastic
as
well.
We
saw
a
total
of
13
rhinos
on
seven
different
occasions.
Additionally,
we
saw
at
least
100
deer
that
looked
like
Bambi,
one
large
black
deer,
some
wild
pigs,
multiple
different
bird
species,
and
our
jeep
even
got
stuck
in
a
ditch,
which
was
quite
exciting
on
its
own.
I
regret
not
staying
one
more
day
to
do
the
hike
instead
of
rushing
to
Kathmandu.
I
had
the
time,
and
it
would
have
been
worth
it.
