We have just got back to Kathmandu after spending the past 2 and a half days in Chitwan National Park and it has literally been the best weekend ever!!
Our trip started pretty interestingly with a rather bumpy but unforgettable ride on the roof of a bus (please don't worry Mums, it was safe and amazing but we probably won't do it again), which gave us the best views possible of the journey to Chitwan.
Chitwan is in the Terai region of Nepal and it is completely different from what we have seen so far around the Kathmandu valley. It is extremely hot and sweaty but amazingly beautiful with stretches of flat rice fields, mountain views in the distance and a huge variety of wildlife (we saw rhinos and crocodiles and many more!).
It was a very action packed weekend and we finally got to not only see some elephants, but feed them, bathe with them (which was the funnest thing ever!!!), and also ride them in the jungle! Elephants are officially our favourite animal now - they're absolutely amazing! We also got to dance on stage at a Tharu cultural show, then got a rather informal Nepali dance lesson on a balcony and we also went on a jungle safari trek. It has been the best weekend and none of us wanted to leave!
So next on the agenda is Pokhara, which we are hoping to visit in the weekend after next. That will be a completely different trip with more sight-seeing, lake activities and possibly some paragliding!
So that's the latest updates from us - there should be some more photo's on our flickr page if you want to check them. And also please keep us updated with what is happening back home!
Namaste and lots of love from us both,
Rozzi & Laurence
