Sunny Days at Chitwan







Chitwan is the only place that I went to in Nepal where I perspired a lot. It is hot and humid during the day in this Unesco World Heritage Site. Chitwan is famous as a premier wildlife national park in Asia.

I did not enjoy my stay in Chitwan because of the intense heat and the fact that the landscape is similar to the tropical forests of the Philippines. Activities here include visits to a Tharu village of local people and elephant breeding station, jungle walk, elephant safari, and a Tharu cultural show in the evening.

Nonetheless it is still worth a short visit if only to experience the elephant safari which will be the subject of my next feature.
