Chitwan

Imagine you are sitting in a freezer with lots of ice cream and you have a brain freeze now think the exact opposite... that's Chitwan. We took a break from city life and took a six hour bus ride down to what felt like one of the hottest places on earth. Located in a tropical rainforest type enviroment, Chitwan is a small quaint little town with lots of elephants. The first night we got there we went to salvation home, which is the only childrens home located there. The kids were absolutely wonderful as usual and we ended up playing volleyball, chess and singing songs. That night we then went back to the hotel where the power (and thus the fans) went on and off throughout the night. The next day we were able to experience the local flair of chitwan when we went on a canoe safari down a crocodile infested river, followed by elephant bathing, and concluding with an elephant ride through the jungle. Although we had a great time in Chitwan we were excited to leave and beat the heat in Pokhara.
