Chitwan National Park - Canoeing

Canoeing on Chitwan's rivers is an excellent way of observing waterfowl. The park's freshwater dolphins and crocodiles, however, are seldom seen. The high temperatures experienced in the park make bathing in the river an attractive proposition; water-holes are also very tempting for a swim. Watching the elephants showering is a particular treat. A full-grown elephant can suck up about 9 liters of water with his trunk and will spray himself - and, sometimes, out of sheer devilment, his rider too - on command.
