Chitwan's Elephant Safari: The Real Thing

Was not excited about taking the elephant safari which was part of the package tour that I took in Chitwan. This was because I previously did a jungle elephant safari in Chang Mai in Thailand which was not great. The elephant just went around a river which run parallel to a hill and that was it.

Furthermore, the jungle walk that we did in the morning in Chitwan was a disappointment. We walked for 4 hours in the jungle and saw only monkeys, and foot prints of a tiger according to our guide.

The elephant ride turned out to be the best part of my Chitwan holiday. We were taken to a real jungle and saw at a vantage point seated on top of the elephant, Nepal's wildlife including one horned indian rhinoceros, spotted deer, crocodiles, and monkeys. This experience is one of highlights of my Nepal vacation.
