Adventures in Chitwan Jungle ... rhino spotted on elephant safari and canoe trip on Rapti River!

Fee Bellamy reports having received communication from Martin, expedition leader:

All are well here in Chitwan! We've taken a canoe ride down the Rapti River, been on elephant safari and spotted Rhino! (Bengal Tigers remained elusive although we are told they are much more likely to be watching us than for us to spot them!). The expeditioners have also danced with the locals!

The Expeditioners transferred today by road from the Himalayas (Pokhara) to the 'steamy jungle' (Royal Chitwan National Park).

Here are some typical sights and views our 'adventurers' will have experienced on their bus ride today ...
