Day 4: Travel to Chitwan Valley

This 5 hour bus trip to Chitwan is not for the faint of heart. The roads are full of potholes and very narrow… Often narrowing to one way, sharp curves, fast buses packed with people and areas where bridge sides are torn out—
There are small villages spread along the route with people waving and going about daily living. Most of our day was traveling time so we went late afternoon to the elephant races.! Dinner at the lodge and then a group of young men came and shared traditional dance.

One thought on “Day 4: Travel to Chitwan Valley

  1. Are the elephants well cared for? Do they treat them like we would treat pets? The one elephant is beautifully painted? I’m interested to know about their art? Have you seen examples of their creative expression?
