Chitwan National Park Safari
Though there's some controversy regarding the use of elephants for safaris in places like Chitwan National Park, we weren't really a part of that dialogue when we visited Nepal. Going by elephant was the only option for us in terms of transportation into certain parts of the park. We watched the elephants and the people who cared for them walking along the rivers each morning and our elephant-experience in ...
Our Chitwan Jungle Safari began with a dug-out canoe ride down the Narayani River. Two guides took us into the jungle to look for rhinoceros and tigers. We didn't see either of these things, but that was in part because our safari took place later in the morning. Early morning safaris at Chitwan are more likely to yield good wild-life viewing. We travel enough that we weren't stressed out about "missed ...

We visited in Nepal in 2014, one year before the Kathmandu earthquake. During our time there, our main goal was to get the rabies vaccination series which was available for about 1/10th of the cost that we'd pay in the U.S. Unfortunately, though the rabies vaccines made us sick. When we visited Chitwan National Park, we'd just had the last of three shots in the series. Rather than have a terrible time, we ...
John wore a GoPro into Chitwan National Park so that we wouldn't feel compelled to be taking pictures the whole day. In this video, we drift down the Narayani River toward the jungle. Unfortunately, we didn't see any rhinoceros or tigers on our Chitwan Jungle Safari, but we were okay with that. A year later, we went on safari in South Africa at Pilanesberg National Park and saw rhinoceros and other animlas ...
In the late afternoon, we lined up to board elephants at Chitwan National Park. Our guide, an employee at Sapana Village Lodge, brought us to this location near the jungle where we were assigned an elephant that then took us into the jungle.Although there's a negative dialogue going on about the treatment of trained elephants, we weren't a part of this discussion when we visited Nepal. We walked past ...
