Itinerary description

CANOE TRIP ON THE LADHARI RIVER AND SMALL CIRCULAR ROUTE THROUGH THE JUNGLE NEAR CHITWAN, THE CANOE TRIP IS NOT PICKED UP BY THE TRACK
A jeep takes us to the starting point to make the canoe trip, it will be a descent down the Ladhari River, it is 9:00, a light mist is attached to the water, it is quite a spectacle.
Our quiet slide through the water does not disturb the fauna and we can see it closer than when we walk. It only lasted half an hour, but it was worth it.
We pass the elephant training center and enter the jungle. The vegetation is denser than the one we did on foot in Chitwan National Park.
The guide identifies the fauna, the birds even by their song. Talk to another guide to take us where they have seen more fauna (rhinos).

IMPORTANT
This route is not described to serve as a guide. It collects subjective indications based on meteorology, hydrology and specific personal physical conditions. If someone uses it, it will be under their responsibility, and they must adapt it to their personal physical conditions and to the meteorological and hydrological conditions of each moment and decide whether they can do it or not.
The track marked on the GPS by the satellite is not 100% reliable, sometimes the signal is distorted and it deviates from the path, especially next to cliffs.
