Some prefer to ride the elephants on these hikes to avoid walking unsuspectingly upon a sleeping rhino.
Today we were fine however since there was none present. A bunch of near misses and then the sun was too hot so that all animals had retired to the shade and resting holes.
In the afternoon there was the more interesting canoe ride where we saw the crocs, one a bit too close and fast for comfort in our flimsy vessel. But I'm writing this so it means we made it.
After that was a trip to the Elephant orphanage which show them to be chained or protected (depending on your perspective) and back to the river.
A good contrasting experience to the Anapurna highlands
