The experience of a lifetime - being allowed to be a mahout for half an hour in Royal Chitwan National Park.
Safaris are conducted by open vehicle, on foot and by elephant back.
There are over 250 butterflies in Chitwan - enormous, colourful, beautiful butterflies - and 550 bird species including many rapters and kingfishers. There are various wild orchids.
There are 140 tigers including cubs on the latest census, and there are sloth bears, the one horned rhino, leopard and many antelope.
One can also game view along the river, which is a lovely, relaxing experience, if you avoid the crocodiles!
