Thrill-seeking in Chitwan

---

---

While waiting around in Kathmandu for the Indian visa to come through we had a few days to kill so headed for a 5 day trip to Chitwan. We wanted to see tigers and wild elephants but we were there at the wrong time (best time is February - March when elephant grasses have been burned and you can see animals!). We also managed a couple of days white-water rafting on the Tresuli river which was great fun.

We didn't see the big animals but saw the rare one-horned rhino, deer, wild boar, gharial and magar crocodiles and loads of types of bird.
