But this has got to be the most unique capture...

India should start this kind of trekking & foot safari along forest trail in the buffers of our tiger reserves. That'll be reasonably safe & would create livelihood for the local forest dwellers.
I know it's done only in few places, like Satpura & Periyar.
Brilliant!

It's most definitely on my to-do list now.

Thank you rishi, yup tried to capture all the bird sounds, but our group kept surprisingly silent! Lol yeah that calf peed right in front of us! Yup for the livelihood of the locals, tourist activities in buffer zone is a must, many locals have also been employed as nature guides here apart from their cultural dance which was included in the package.

I have a feeling that Nepal is as popular among foreign tourist as Africa. In Indian parks you can't see so many Western tourists with exception of  Ranthambore.

Thanks man, yup for foreigners, Chitwan definetly is their no.1 choice apart from mountains and trekking. There are so many lodges being operated there, our lodge was packed with German and French, Western tourists definitely outnumber local tourist in Chitwan.

These long chains of numerous riding elephants walking through the dense vegetation as an army are typical for Chitwan since centuries. Probably the largest ever tiger hunt in the new history by King George V (1911) with participating of whole army of elephants took place exactly in Chitwan.

Its hard to believe that only 50 years ago (1961) the same British queen Elizabeth II and her family who now is pretending to be a big supporter of wildlife protection as a young queen took part in massive tiger and rhino hunt in Chitwan with participation of 327 riding elephants.
