Back to Pokhara and a drive down to Chitwan National Park leaves us sweating from the pace of the road and the weather. It's hot and humid and the river is no relief. The elephants are enchanting - gentle, big and very quiet walkers. We took an afternoon elephant ride through the forest to see a rhinoceros. Two big animals walking around in the forest. Tiger prints are found in the mud close to camp and the birds are loudly getting ready for bed.
The night is just a sweat box and there's only electricity between 4 and 9, meaning there's not even a fan to help cool us off - just heavy, wet, hot air to keep us tossing and turning.
The next day cools off a bit for an elephant bath. The kids jump in to get "showered" by an elephant trunk and rolled off like a bronco. So far a highlight of the trip.
