They must be doing something right at the Elephant Breeding Center because there were quite a few little elephants running around….some of them a little naughtier than others.
This little guy wasn’t chained up and was “hamming it up” for all the visitors.
Follow the leader.
The Elephant Breeding Center is a short bike ride from “downtown” Sauraha and it’s a pretty bike ride too…through rice paddies and traditional villages. A glimpse into Nepali life.

I have no idea what these girls were gathering, but they were at the river the entire time we were at the elephant breeding center.
And there is a fun bridge you get to cross too.

If you’re planning on going to the breeding center make sure you go at feeding time. During the day the elephants head out to the fields to eat, collect feed, etc. I don’t even think they’ll let you in to the center outside of feeding time, so ask around about the schedule. I feel like we went in the late afternoon. It’s pretty fun to watch the babies eat….they get food everywhere.
Messy elephant!!! Food all over the place….just like a human baby.
A bike rental for a couple hours should only be a dollar or two (remember to bargain) and the entrance to the center is pretty cheap too…just a couple of bucks, but I don’t remember the exact amount.
My brother recommended I may like this web site. He was
once entirely right. This post truly made my
day. You cann’t imagine just how so much time I had spent for this info!
Thanks!
