Elephant wranglers outside of Tiger Tops Tented Camp load a howdah onto one of their domesticated animals. As they try to fit the saddle rope under the elephant's stomach, they command the animal to inhale, so they can pull tighten the rope.

Visitors to Chitwan National Park, where Tiger Tops is located, can only traverse the park's swamps safely on elephant-back: The park's highly endangered greater one-horned rhino fear humans, so approaching them on foot is dangerous. The elephant's scent masks the loathed human odor.
