Chitwan National Park
At the weekend a trip was organised for us along with the other volenteers to go to the largest national park in Nepal. We left early in the morning on a six hour bus journey in a damp and cold bus. However it was deffinetly worth it. We arrived to a nice but basic lodge on the side of the river. The weather was hot and sunny, and there was a weekend full of activities aranged for us. First was a visit to the Elephant breeding centre, followed by a cultural dance show in which we both got up on the stage and gave it a good. We took a relaxing boat ride through the early moring mist to begin our jungle walk, we wondered through the beautiful green jungle but unfortuatly we only saw one peakcock, a crocodile and lots of red bugs.
The highlight was deffinety the Elephant safari, we were very lucky to see Rhinos, including a baby one, lots of monkeys, dear and more peakcocks. The Mahot (elephant driver) gave us all goes at driving.
We spent the evenings by the river, around the camp fire watching the sun go down and relaxing. Bravely both of us and a few others slept out side one night very peacfully!
It was a great weekend and we hope we have more adventres to come.

Hi Sophie.
Great to see you arrived safe and sound and are already getting into the experience of the whole thing. We’ll be reading your entries with interest and no doubt will be talking about them with Emma and Nicky over a flapjack!
Take care.
