We’ve been here a few days now and have had plenty of time to soak up the atmosphere and culture and view it’s beautiful surroundings.  Chitwan is so laid back it’s almost horizontal – it’s is truly amazing.

As we eat our breakfast we watch the locals feed and water their animals, including elephants, by the river. As we walk around we get a sense of no urgency.  A local was telling us that most people here only work 3–4 hours a day, the rest is for chilling. Everywhere we go there are people playing cards, sleeping, drinking tea, fishing etc. – what a life!  Money means very little to these people – peace of mind is number one – maybe some of this will rub off on us by the time we leave.
