Back in Kathmandu - Temples

One of the biggest activities in Kathmandu is visiting temples.  Here are some of the temples that we saw.

Transportation in Nepal

There are many different ways to get around in Nepal!

Motorcycles and scooters often have 2, 3, or even 4 people on them.

Houses in Nepal

There are many different looking houses in Nepal depending on the region.  We saw Gurung style houses on trek, Taru style houses in the jungle, and Newari style around Kathmandu.  Below are some examples of traditional houses and buildings we saw.

On Safari in Chitwan

 Today I went to Chitwan Jungle for a safari. 

Nepal not only has high mountains, but in the south it also has lowland jungles that are a part of the Gangetic Plains of India.  In a few places thick jungles with rhinos and tigers still exist.

We went to Chitwan in a bus from Pokhara.  We then changed to another bus, then a boat, and finally a jeep to get into the heart of the jungle.  I saw two types of deer and a rhino from the jeep.  It was a long and hard journey because I nearly threw up in the bus, and a girl sitting next to us did throw up! which smelled really bad.

There was a baby elephant at Chitwan that always followed its mom.  We rode elephants on a safari to see wildlife!
