Adios Nepal, Dhanyabad
I left Nepal, but a piece of my heart will always be there. It sounds kitsch but that the truth, it’s just such a lovely country that gave 2 full month of good memories, I hope I can go there again sometime…
My last stop in Nepal was Chitwan National park. It’s on the south of the country near to India and it’s home of 350 one horn rhinos, 150 bengal tigers, hundreds of deer and many many monkeys among other animals. It was a lovely place. The village where you stay is so small and so laid back that it’s very hard to leave, specially with that beautiful river, where see an amazing sunset on the jungle while you are sitting on a wooden armchair enjoying a nice meal and beer :).
I had very little time so I tried to enjoy it at the most, with an elephant safari thru the jungle and a 3 day jungle hike. On the first one we had the luck of seeing 2 female rhinos with two little cuttie baby rhinos!! Of course the mamas weren’t very pleased, but they can’t really do anything when you are riding a 3 meter elepahnt, can they?
The jungle walk was also very good ’cause you had the chance to enjoy the jungle for yourself in total silence. I was not alone, two guides (you need to hire them in order to enter and they tell you so much about the park, and can safe your life when facing a rhino) were coming along, and a german girl, Frauke, who was the perfect company with her love for nature and good energy :).
I was praying so we would find a tiger, but unfortunately we didn’t. They are just too smart… We did see some rhinos from very close, one just appeared on our way and we had to climb a pile of soil to hide. Also deer and monkeys that are always nice. We were staying in the villages beside the park and there we met very nice loving and simple people.
Then it was time to leave Nepal, my visa was expiring like in one day, and I headed to India on a horrible bus trip.
My first stop in India was Varanasi, but you’ll have to wait a day or two to read about this fantastic and mistic city.
I’m moving very quickly around India, so far I’ve been in two cities more, and tonight I’m going to Rajastan where I’ll spend the rest of my time in this country.
I have to get ready to get my train so you just enjoy from the pics,
