Chitwan National Park

The protected wildlife park was just across the river

The next two pictures were snapshots I took of a menu. Sarah, Pauliina and I had a good laugh while figuring out what to order. How many spelling errors can you find?

After breakfast we went on a bike ride around the town and found an elephant in a man's backyard. We decided to go for it and just ask if we could meet his elephant. It was easily the highlight of the trip.

Look Mom! I'm touching an elephant!

That afternoon we went on a safari and found one of the famous one-horned rhino, and better yet, her little baby rhino!

The safari was followed by a canoe trip down the river where we saw lots of crocodiles.

The canoe trip ended at a bank where a herd of cows were grazing. They are such a small breed of cow, but dang they are cute. Look at these calves!

The ears!

After giving the cows far too much attention, we went on a jungle walk.

Our guide called these gorgeous purple flowers river hyacinth. They look and smell like hyacinth, so I believe him.

Male tiger track! AH!

There is a type of plant, that winds up the trees and constricts them until they eventually die. Here you can see that plant arching across and climbing two trees at the same time. It looked like something out of Jumangi.

Showing off an impressive termite mound. Be impressed.
