"I spent a truly timeless moment with Prasanna in the heart of a stunning park. I was hesitant about this kind of experience because I was worried about crowds. But in this part of the park, it was incredibly peaceful. I was able to share a part of the lives of these elephant families in complete tranquility; it was a truly unique experience.
