Hi. For my first post, I wanted to see if any other readers have visited the Chitwan National Park in Nepal and seen rhinos there.
We went in, er, 2002, I think, and stayed at Tiger Tops Lodge - had a fantastic time being the only people there after the Elephant Polo World Cup had finished, and saw plenty of Greater One-Horned (Indian) Rhinos from elephant-back, plus the lodge's "own" orphan rhino Mangal, who was then about 9 months old, I think.
Does anyone have any news of Mangal, or of how the rhino population in Chitwan is going in the current Nepalese situation?

I'm not sure, but I read a book a while back called The Soul of the Rhino by Hemanta Mishra. It's about his works in Nepal conserving rhinos, especially in Chitwan.

I just read that there is a rhino census in Nepal that went from April 5-30. Is it too soon or are there any results in that count? Thanks, and I look forward to good news.

The figures came out very soon: According to the 2011 rhino census there are 503 rhinos in Chitwan N.P. ,24 in Bardiya N.P. and 7 in Shuklaphanta Wildlife Reserve in Nepal.
