Exiting Chitwan

Elephant Camp – Chitwan National Park, Nepal

Elephant Camp in the Chitwan National Park of Nepal was a favourite place to go.

A drive into the camp consisted of crossing a river then driving up a long narrow road into the camp which was shared with elephants, bikes, people and on the drive in we used to pass a couple of very small villages and a small school.

At the camp, which was run by an American guy he organised Rhino walking tours into the bush around the camp and also Elephant rides which were somewhat safer to go see the Rhinos.

Also at the camp was very basic toilets, cold showers and the best bit was a bar. A generator was there providing power around the bar area only

A group of locals were normally organised to go a dance for us and would walk to the camp from miles away with their music and sticks just to perform for us.
