Howdy, Valued Fan Base!
The request I get most often is, “When will you do one about that elephant? WHEN?!” Okay, okay! Here it is now so you can put your shirt back on.
A farming friend of mine wanted to plant barley. They don’t sell barley in Siliguri, so he decided to go where they do – out west in the desert state of Rajasthan. I offered to tag along.
It took a couple of days but we finally found a reliable source in Jaipur and had a couple big bazooms of it shipped back to his farm.
While waiting for the order to ship, we checked out a lake palace…
…and took a ride on a couple of racing camels (at least we assumed they were racing camels – turns out their high and low speeds weren’t much different no matter how you hollered and whacked them with your hat).
Then we visited a leopard colony…
…and climbed up, up uphill to see an old fort. (I can see why they used to build forts high up on hilltops. By the time your enemy climbs all the way up there, he is conveniently half-dead for you.)
After that, we were very ready to be carried around howdahs like a couple maharajas.
So we tracked down an outfit that would accommodate our touristy whim at Elephanjoy. I highly recommend Lakshmi. She is a very well-behaved pachyderm. (Of course, I don’t have much to compare her to. Most Siliguri elephants come trumpeting around at night, knocking fences down and stamping the villagers’ houses flat.)
Anyway, once Lakshmi gets to know you, she’ll let you ride her. She gets to know you by your feeding her hay for half and hour, painting her nose (washing it off quickly) then feeding her some more hay. By that time, she’s waving her ears, swinging her trunk left and right and making a deep purr – which sounds like a contented tiger at the bottom of a well.
Then she goes and stands under a platform. You climb up on a ladder and off you go for half an hour, swaying back and forth through the jungle like Tarzan but with clothes on.
Elephanjoy is not for profit. You donate what you will. We donated 1000 rupees (about $14) and everyone was happy. So if you’re ever in Jaipur, visit Elephanjoy and ask for Lakshmi. Tell her I sent you. Just say, “Lakshmi! Ungawa David Uncle! Ungawa!” She’ll remember me. She’s an elephant.
