Nepal - Canoes in Chitwan National Park at Sunset time
At the foot of the Himalayas, Chitwan is one of the few remaining undisturbed vestiges of the 'Terai' region, which formerly extended over the foothills of India and Nepal. It has a particularly rich flora and fauna. One of the last populations of single-horned Asiatic rhinoceros lives in the park, which is also one of the last refuges of the Bengal tiger. Royal Chitwan National Park, the oldest national park in Nepal, is situated in the subtropical inner Terai lowlands of South-Central Nepal. The park was designated as a World Heritage Site in 1984.
Canoeing on Chitwan rivers is an excellent way of seeing waterfalls. The park's dolphins and crocodiles, however, are seldom seen. The high temperatures experienced in the park make bathing in the river an attractive pastime. Water-holes are also lure for a swim. Watching the elephants showering is very interesting.
These canoes on the photo are the ones used to take tourists around.

Wow, fantastic shot Lucie. I've just been looking through some of your recent posts, and I think that you have really added another dimension to your photography. It looks very professional. You always had great landscape shots, but now you've added in more cultural photos which rounds out the overall presentation. I tip my hat to you!

You had to chain them up to have them posing together at the same time !
Don't you find the means a bit extreme ?
Poor canoes, forced to be models on a gorgeous postcard !
