Chitwan is the national park situated some 200km south of Kathmandu and is home to to appx 125 Royal Bengal Tigers and over 500 rhinoceros. We went there on safari for a couple of nights at the end of our trip as much for a rest but also in the hope of spotting the elusive tiger. As the tiger is nocturnal the chances of this are slim. As you may have guessed we did not see the tiger but did see a footprint of one! What we did see was loads of rhinos and even got out of the jeep and got very close to a mother with a couple of babies, climbing a fallen tree trunk to get a better view, which in hind sight was probably not the smartest hing to do if they decided to charge!
It was a nice interlude but certainly not safari African style.
