Sauraha is another fantastic venue to view sunrise and sunset. Observing such divinely pleasure, you may feel sun being born off the earth itself. At the end of the main road in Sauraha lies the Rapti River. It’s a calm wide river that on one side has a dense jungle and on the other side a row of hotels, tables and chairs. The idea is that you can sit on the chair and enjoy the sunset over the river with the jungle in the background.
