Prepare to get up early and follow the elephants to the
grass-lands , where the mahouts cut and collect the grass
for the elephants to eat during the day. This is a very
beautiful experience and varies a lot over the different
seasons . Mornings are of ten misty, and to see the elephants
move through the grass is a truly magnificnet sight . While
watching the beautiful sight of the elephants grazing in
the morningmist , you will be treated to a steaming cup of
traditional Nepali tea to celebrate the occasion . Meanwhile ,
one of our naturalists will explain about the wildlife and the
ecosystem surrounding you. You may also learn the grass-
cutting and binding techniques from the mahouts.
Back in the camp a fulfilling breakfast will be waiting . The
rest of the morning you spend with the mahouts learning
how to make kuchis (elephant sandwiches), hanging around
and watching the elephants enjoy their family and free
time in the corrals , or follow any activity the mahouts may
have planned for that morning . Lunch will be served around
noon , and you might wish to relax and be lazy just like the
elephants during the hot midday hours.
In the late afternoon , when the temperature is pleasant ,
go for a walk in the jungle with the elephants and their
mahouts . You will be walking alongside the elephants ,
watching how they move , what they eat , and listening to
their communication , rumbling and trumpeting . On the
way, our naturalist will show and tell you about wildlife
and vegetation as you move through jungle , grassland , and
wetland with the elephants . You will most likely to encounter
tigertracks , deer, various species of birds , and may be a
rhino or two , depending on the route.
