Reporter:
Chris: Well, it all started two years ago when I was planning a trip to India, I visited a photographic(摄影的) exhibition of elephants and I realized that the only way to travel around India was on an elephant.
Reporter:
Chris: I flew to New Delhi and started looking for an elephant. I needed an elephant trained to carry people. I asked an expert for help. He taught me how to ride an elephant. He also helped me find an elephant.
Reporter:
Chris: Not too long, I bought a female(母的) elephant called Tara for about USD 6, 000.
Reporter:
Chris: Tara and I set off from New Delhi a week later. We were heading to Sonepur in northern India. And what a ride! Elephants can travel at about 6 miles an hour and Sonepur was more than 1, 200 km away. It took us 64 days to complete the journey.
Reporter:
Chris: Yes, a few. But nothing serious. On the third day, Tara hurt her foot. But that got better quickly. Also, there was a lot of heavy rain during the first week and we got very wet!
