Jungle trekking

This past week, some friends of mine, flew in to Kathmandu and invited me to go with them on a jungle safari in the Terai.  How could I pass up an great adventure like that?! So here are some photos from our time in the jungle.

believe it or not.. there is a
a march croc on the
mud bank.

The Tharu houses are made of
woven cane and then
plastered over with a mixture of
dung and mud.

The half finished bridge.

Walking across rice paddies can be
dangerous.

the Elephant Breeding Center
is doing well.

Was able to capture a baby rhino with its mom in the
jungles of Nepal. This was the main event for me.

We had to ride a canoe
to cross a river ..
the bridge was only half
done.

Friends on an elephant.

The elephant in the back
picked up and returned
my hat to me, when it
flew off while in the
back of the pickup.

Finding a friend in the rice paddies.

a Tharu village

We took an ox cart ride to the river.

We actually saw one of these in
the river

Our canoe was not so crowded.
