Elephants

I will be leaving the Chitwan National Park this morning; heading to Pokarha. 

Pied Hornbills

I woke up this morning to see these Pied Hornbills through the window of my room. 

On the Road in Nepal

I'm currently on the road heading to the Chitwan National Park which is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Unfortunately we have learned that a bridge along our route has collapsed and we are not sure if we will be able to pass over what remains. Stay tuned. 

Crossing Boarder Into Nepal

I crossed the boarder into Nepal yesterday. The first thing you notice is a lot less honking of horns on the streets.  The roads are also a bit better. 

My first stop was the birthplace of Budda. 

Ceremony on the River Ganges

The monsoon rains hit near the end of the ceremony making for a very exciting adventure on the way back to the hotel. 

Orchha

I took the train from Agra to Orchha this morning. Orchha is a much smaller city. I will visit a few of the temples before boarding the train again tomorrow. 

A Day in Agra

My first stop in Arga was the Agra Fort. It has been the site of many historical events since its construction in the mid 17th century including a historical battle of the Indian rebellion in 1857. 

And, of course, Agra in where you will find the Famous Taj Mahal; built by the Muslim Emperor Shah Jahan.
