After being in the crazy city of Kathmandu for a few days we were ready (or so we thought) for the outdoor adventures of Chitwan and the Elephant Safari Resort. Chitwan is known for it's natural beauty, as well as being one of the BEST places in Nepal to see Rhinos.
When we arrived in Chitwan, it was POURING down rain. The owner of the all inclusive, $10/day, Elephant Safari Resort (where we stayed in Chitwan) met us at the bus station to drive us to our new home. When you're only paying $10/day for lodging, all your meals, an elephant ride, a cultural show, a jungle walk, a canoe ride, AND a village tour, you're expectations shouldn't be too high. Little did I know "not to high" actually translates to: electricity that turns on for 5min at a time, a trickling shower, and BEETLES in your meals..... Ok, so I could get past the beetles, the lack of electricity and water pressure, but when I start finding spiders and other bugs crawling on the walls of my room and on the bed I tend to freak out...
Now, the crazy thing about this experience is that in all honesty, if I were given the chance to do it all again - I MOST CERTAINLY WOULD!!! These are the memories that will last a lifetime, and to be spending them with friends like mine, it really was an amazing 3 days!
