So Prabal Gurung is the latest celebrity visiting Chitwan National Park! The designer took to his Instagram to share updates of his journey to Chitwan by sharing photos of the natural surroundings, a snap with an elephant ‘Roopkali’ and his flight with Yeti Airlines. Gurung is currently staying at the Kasara Resort. He will be leaving Nepal very soon.
Here’s to hoping that Chitwan and the surroundings inspire Prabal Gurung for his next collection! Maybe something that fuses the Tharu fashion, Chitwan’s colours and animals. Ooooh! Lol
PS. Kasara Resort is the same place where the Tracing Nepal team ended their sixteen day journey! The final video is here so have a watch 😉 #ShamelessPromo

Prabalji, we hope you did not ride that elephant…:)
Elephant safaris seem like an exotic adventure. Behind the rides however, there are painful conditions that tourists are often unaware of.
Despite their great social skills, outstanding intelligence and environmental and religious relevance, captive elephants in South Nepal lack access to nutritious food, consideration of their social nature, chain free enclosures and humane management.
How is a wild animal, a giant jumbo, controlled by human beings? Like in most countries, in Nepal it’s done through food and sleep deprivation, confinement and regular beating, as well as physical restraint such as chaining and shackling.
Elephants are highly intelligent animals with complex emotions and social bonds. The above experiences can leave them traumatized, and highly unpredictable.
