I was born in Nepal, a country that is mostly bragged about its brave Gorkhali soldiers, the birthplace of the Buddha who is also renowned as the lord of peace, the highest peak Mt Everest and the enchanting natural beauty by the Nepali people. However, now that they have achieved these few things, a chest filled with pride is all they have. My whatsoever boring life with people who are high on pride does have a few exciting parts, one of them is when I travelled to Chitwan.
Chitwan is a place deep within the borders of Nepal and quite a tourist attraction. As to why it is a tourist attraction is because of the one-horned rhinos the creatures adored by me which are present in the Chitwan national park and meeting these creatures was the sole reason for my journey to Chitwan. I and my family were travelling to Chitwan by bus through the night so we didn’t pack many snacks but that may have been a mistake because we were not able to sleep due to the bus’s frequent stops for the restroom arising out hunger every time when we were trying to sleep not only that the restrooms they stopped at were horrible and stinky and just like that without a blink of sleep we reached to Chitwan in the morning.
We went to visit our relatives there who I didn’t even know existed. After reaching my distant relative's house we shared a few light conversations. I couldn't stop complimenting the chicken curry which was prepared in Tharu style with beaten rice which I personally have become a big fan of as a dish since I ate it over there. Our distant relative whose name is Rajlun guided us to a historical play on the epic “Ramayana '' performed by many Tharu actors so that tourists can enjoy their time in Chitwan. After the play we went to a hotel to rest. The next day we went to visit the Chitwan National Park where I rode an elephant. Later on, we also met my desired creature, the one-horned Rhino. Furthermore, I learnt a lot about the other animals present there and that is how we ended the day. The law of my visit to Chitwan has arrived and for the last thing, we decided to do a picnic which may have been one of the most entertaining picnics of my life.
After my amusing trip to Chitwan, we returned back to our home “and Ooooo! Do I have a lot to tell my friends” were probably my first thoughts after arrival. I did keep this trip alive and refreshed a lot back then, by repeatedly bragging about it to my friends just like my fellow Nepali people who keep on repeatedly bragging about Buddha renowned as lord of peace, the highest peak Mt Everest and the enchanting natural beauty of Nepal.
