Chitwan National Park was beautiful and hot, humid and green. Nepal is a landlocked country, but here, with the big wide rivers, it felt like you were almost near the ocean, it was very laid back and low key, with not too many tourists! We walked along the river:
But our favourite rhino was yet to come......we were sat having drinks at a bar overlooking the river into the evening when all the lights went out and the owner came to our table to point out an enormous rhino in the middle of the river about 20 meters from our table!
There were more elephants than cars, this was the local traffic jam on the only road in town:
We went on an early morning canoe ride to see wildlife:
And saw an elephant crossing the river!
We went on a half day jeep safari and saw about eight wild rhinos. We went on an extremely uncomfortable elephant safari and saw a mother and baby rhino in the river
But our favourite rhino was yet to come......we were sat having drinks at a bar overlooking the river into the evening when all the lights went out and the owner came to our table to point out an enormous rhino in the middle of the river about 20 meters from our table!
He was literally, just over Pete's shoulder:
I spent a happy morning helping to wash the elephants in the river! I'm not sure who was washing who though!!
