The morning mist lifts off the Rapti River and the forest opens like a living map — shadows of sal and riverine trees shifting as your guide marks a faint deer trail. You step from Sauraha into tracks that long have carried rhinoceros and tiger, the forest breathing around you as birds call and distant water dares you closer.
