Check out what's right behind me. So, if you're like most people when you think about Nepal you
probably think about Himalayas and huge mountains. What you probably didn't know
is that Nepal is home to jungles like these with tigers and lots of rhinos and elephants and all
kinds of other animals and in this video we're going to explore Chitwan national park on the
border of Nepal and India, home to some of the craziest wildlife in the world.
So, it's 6 30 am. I’m getting this breakfast from this really cool hotel I’m staying in,
and the guys are super friendly and today is going to be a huge day
because I am in Chitwan national park, one of the best places in Asia for seeing just big mammals.
We're in this canoe that's made out of one tree trunk. We're gonna use this to go on the Chitwan
river. We're gonna spend probably like 45 minutes an hour around here trying to spot some animals
Canoe's definitely moving a little bit faster now. I think that's because we're moving..
we're entering a shallower part this river and we've seen two crocodiles so far but barely,
just eyes sticking out. Not enough to get videos of them
That's a huge crocodile yeah. We finally saw a full crocodile just basking and tanning in the sun
We're off the canoe and in the jungle. We're definitely starting to see a lot of elephant poop
So, for a while we were following the footprints of some rhinos and then finally by the bank of
this river we see a rhino sleeping in the water, and now it's like waking up and looking at us
So, I just saw some elephants that were all chained up and the reason was because they're
domesticated, which makes no sense. If you didn't know elephants are wild animals. They're not
supposed to be domesticated, they don't live good lives when they're domesticated. You're
required to wear long pants on this jungle walk that I’m doing right now because you're
walking in tallgrass and everything. Problem is I donated my light hiking pants that I had
for the Himalayas a few days ago. So, the only pair of long pants I have are these black jeans
which are suffocating in this heat and it's really starting to get hot and it's only 9am
and it's gonna go up to like 37 degrees Celsius today and be very very humid
We got our tickets and everything else sorted. Now we have to
cross the river again to actually go into the National park with the animals
if we are must be disturb to them, they must be aggressive
So, we're going through this area called the River and Forest lands
So, on top of this tower on our viewpoint where we're finally allowed to talk, I think
So, we're next to the spot with a lot of elephant grass
and we just saw a family of deer behind us over there
So, our guides are climbing up on trees to look for animals
We saw our second rhino and our first ever rhino in the park, but it was hiding in the tall grass.
So, we couldn't really see most of it and it ran away. Back to the hotel for lunch break
We're getting on a jeep now to go another safari and we're crossing the river again.
Okay it's 36 degrees Celsius and we're in the jeep. Thank god it's in the shade
I just saw a lot of langurs
Just saw two more rhinos but the male ran away when it saw us and
the female's kinda hiding in the water cause it's so hot
Today I learned what deer sound like
So, we just found this rhino grazing by the river near a lot of people. It's like
our eighth rhino we saw today. Right now we're in this place, not too far
from the main bank, where they're rehabbing two baby rhinos.
They're rescued and they're sort of keeping them in here because they're still supposedly too young
to protect themselves from tigers out there. Because tigers eat baby rhinos
It was impossible to pet them but they're super cute and one of them was a lot cuter than the
other one, the baby one. Do we go that way? Yeah. Okay. That's it for this video. If you
