It's noon when we arrive in the village of Sauraha, located just outside Chitwan National Park. The entrance fee for this park is quite high, especially when you know you will also have to pay for a guide and transportation. This all happens in group, something which we are not very fond of. Instead, we plan a route following the edge of the park. Here we encounter already some wildlife: a crocodile on the other side of the river that was waiting for a prey, wild deers and wild boars at ten meters distance (a bit scary), a snake skin and a pair of otters.

The Wildlife around Chitwan National Park

This is just about anything that people can see in the park besides elephants but we see them daily walking down the street. A bit closer than we would like we also see a live snake. Just next to our bungalow, we see how a frog is being swallowed by this small snake.

We Hate Snakes!

The rest of our time here we enjoy the warm weather, the movie channel in our bungalow and the food in our restaurant.
The next destination is Lumbini, the birthplace of Buddha.
