284 NP - Royal Chitwan National Park (1984)

Brief Description
"At the foot of the Himalayas, Chitwan is one of the few remaining undisturbed vestiges of the 'Terai' region, which formerly extended over the foothills of India and Nepal. It has a particularly rich flora and fauna. One of the last populations of single-horned Asiatic rhinoceros lives in the park, which is also one of the last refuges of the Bengal tiger."

奇特旺皇家国家公园

"在喜马拉雅山脚下,奇特旺是德赖地区少数几个未遭到破坏的历史遗迹之一,它曾一直延伸到印度和尼泊尔的山脉丘陵地带。公园里拥有丰富的动植物群,有珍稀的独角亚洲犀牛,也是孟加拉虎的最后避难所。"
