After my excursion to Jurassic Park and my huge amount of good blessings for a good life, my body thought it would be time to take a break. So in that case I couldn’t leave the house or better my bad for over 4 days, and that in my holiday time. My theory on that is: I got so many good blessings and wishes on me, so every evil thing was taken away, but all this evil stuff first needs to get out of the body and that takes time. This is representing itself in 40dgrees fever and the feeling you have to die^^ But after that, I hope so belonging on my theory, I will feel like a new born person. I’m not on that point by now, but I deeply believe in it. The evil is a really long lasting guest.
Kathmandus air and let’s say it like this „light turbulent “surrounding is not really the best place to get better, calm down and get some peace. So I made the decision after I could look at least so so straight again, to leave KTM and go to the country side for a few days. What is the best against a heavy cold, warm and up to subtropical climate. The final place that popped up by that is called Chitwan.
Shortly to makes it clear for all unknown (including me); Nepal it’s not just existing out of the famous Mount Everest our rocky and hilly landscapes. It has close to as many exotic regions and animals as Africa. Chitwan is one of them, it is placed in the sup tropic terrain close to the boarder of India. During the time of my stay, a small feeling of homesickness was sliding thru my head, everything was so “flat” and wide, and not one mountain to see anywhere. Already in the first 10minutes after I arrived in Sauhara, a crocodile and a few elephants where crossing my way. The highlight of the evening than was definitely the rhino on his “catwalk”. During the dinner on a rooftop, a rhino step in a comfy walk over the main road of the “city”, real in fully size. Straight on the middle of the street, and didn’t let itself interrupt from anything while his late window-shopping session, even though nobody would have interrupt it anyway.
On the way back to my guest house I first bumped into our House Elephant named suse. I thought this where already a lot wild animals for one day. But one hour later (I think the windowshopping was ended plenty), I heard a delicious grunt coming from the other side of my window. As I slowly took the current beside, I looked at the before mentioned rhino standing directly in front of my room, smacking clearing the rice field of the neighbour farmer. This Farmer tried to get the rhino from his field with wild shouting making sounds like “oula, oula” and a lot of noise. To my enjoyment and his anger it didn’t work out at all, and the rhino just showed him his big grey ass. Rhini blessed us with his visit for ca. 2 hours more before she made her way slowly back to her cosy home in the national park.
My conclusion of this is, if you want to see wild exotic animals you don’t really need to fly to Africa or go on a safari. It’s enough to visit a city or town of Nepal, even in the capital city I’m fighting with ay balcony monkey every day, who steels my coke and nuts.
