As far as I remember last time I was ridinng the elephant in 1975 going to the fortress of Amber in India. But here they offer jungle walk on the bach of elephant – quite a new experiance for only 1250 rs = 13 $ per 2 hours. So why not? They offer two options in the park or outside the park. Second is longer -2 hours and you are not pressed to pay extra for the park permit (1500 rs). I signed for the second and they pick me by van at 8 am. After 20 min ride on the outskirts of Sauraha we boarded elephants (4 persons and a guide per animal) and started the jungle walk. Not many animals on the route: just deers, monkeys, peacocks – I did not expect that they fly!
Streams, little hills and holes – The all-terrain elephant experience was quite bumpy so must tell you that I was happy to dissembark this vehicle after 2 hours… It is worth to try anyway -once in the lifetime!
