After being stuck in Kathmandu for another day, we decided (in the last minute) to go to Chitwan rather than go directly to Pokhara.
That was probably one of the best choices we did in our journey. Chitwan is a natural park in the border with India, where you can find one-horned rhinos, 2 types of crocodiles and the legendary (but very rare) Royal Bengal Tiger.
Once you arrive in the little village of Sauraha (last bus stop) you find yourself in the middle of the jungle... well... at least very close. The only thing that separates the village from the park is the river where you sometimes can see crocodiles (so swimming isn't really recommended).
There are very nice hotels/bungalows, elephants walking in the streets, horses and camels everywhere... a very nice place to visit if you are looking for something more exotic.
Luckily we were able to find our Brazilian friends in the first day and spent the rest of the time together. We had a wonderful time and plenty of stories to tell. Like this one: people over there don't really speak English, so when our friend asked for FISH LEMON SAUCE, the boy working in the hotels restaurant very proudly brought a glass of FRESH LEMON JUICE, which took 1h30 to be prepared.
But its a place people really should visit... I mean... ELEPHANTS in the streets, isn't it amazing? the locals didn't think so... for them, they are just like... 5-tones motorbikes?
