Dust lifts beneath the jeep as it rumbles along the Rapti’s braided banks at first light. Grasslands open and close like curtains, and somewhere ahead a silhouette of a one‑horned rhinoceros grazes, unbothered by the vehicle’s slow approach. The guide tilts his binoculars; the river dares you to watch its gharials bask and kingfishers dart.
