Species: Asian Elephant | Location: Chitwan National Park, Nepal
At the end of a day in Chitwan National Park in Nepal, we returned to our base of operations. The domesticated elephants were then taken to the river. There we had the opportunity to feed them and help wash them. The more adventurous of our group were given the chance to sit astride the elephant while the elephants bathed. This elephant decided to share the bath!
