Follow the river path until you see a clearing with benches and a great view of the sunset. The total walking distance is roughly 1 kilometer and should take around 20-30 minutes depending on your pace.

If you prefer cycling, rent a bicycle from one of the many rental shops in Sauraha. The cost is typically around NPR 300-500 for a few hours. Start your ride from the rental shop towards the Sauraha Chitwan National Park entrance. Once there, follow the same path as the walking directions. The bicycle ride will take about 10-15 minutes to reach the Sunset Point, depending on your speed.
