Boatman crossing the Rapti River on a traditional wooden dugout canoe. The boat is moved by pushing a long pole against the bottom of the river, as it can be seen here. In the area, the boats are usually made of single silk cotton tree trunks, and are widely used. The Rapti River (East Rapti River) makes up the Northern border of the Chitwan National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A sunset view, with the man's silhouette backlit by the setting sun reflecting in the water. Sauraha Village, Chitwan Distr
