Any significance to the bird in the top left of the image?

Chitwan National Park is a breeding ground for the endangered Indian Spotted Eagle, which is probably what the flying bird is all about. I think this is the correct site.

Just curious....
Has anyone seen points added to their accounts from last week's contest? Do we get any notice if we are awarded or not?

Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal
The official name of the country is Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal.
However, CHITWAN NATIONAL PARK, FEDERAL DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF NEPAL doesn't fit in the box (Nepal is truncated as 'N'), so I guess I'll go with CHITWAN NATIONAL PARK, NEPAL

Great spot Plancktos
And if there is anyone still in doubt, here is the path and elephant from the left of the picture from the same site:

It is definitely the Royal Chitwan National Park

Hello all,
I have cracked this one!
Following the leads in this thread I have done some searching. It turns out that the location is Royal Chitwan National Park, Terai region, Nepal without doubt.
Check out this picture:

The tree (the picture) is the same as used in the challenge image.
Lets stack up the points!
Cheers

The FAQs say 2-4 weeks to post.
I don't know if they will notify correct answers earlier; (they say about a week for the Grand Prize winners) I guess we will see posts here soon enough when anything happens.

A few minutes before the change to the new pic (midnight ET), the Mrs and I both got 500 pts listed as Survey bonus. I wonder if this is the points from the Challenge. I'm positive I answered the right destination on Tuesday, but since I tweaked my answer each day, it must have just gone with the last entry. Oh well... lessons learned...

Week Two
Clue 1: Not your typical safari destination
Well-researched answer: Chitwan National Park, Nepal. — Thanks to Plancktos
As for Chitwan National Park, Nepal, the huts in the contest photo although far and appear small resemble the one in this article:http://www.bootsnall.com/articles/10...ent-nepal.html

Plancktos is correct, it's Chitwan. (That grass carries horrendous fleas, by the way--my legs looked like I had the measles when I was there.) Note that it is no longer called Royal Chitwan--it's Chitwan National Park, Nepal.

and I thought it was a plane in the top left as the airport for Chitwin was also the home of the elephant polo matches. Hopefully the planes landed between chuckers.

Today's clue reminds me of the Bond (Sir Roger Moore) movie Octopussy, where Bond, on safari, is approached by a tiger. Bond utters the command "Sit" (ala Barbara Woodhouse).
That is all.
That is all.

thanks to the hive mind for working out the location on this one clue. i am in awe of the expertise of the travelers here. it also reminds me that i really have not traveled nearly enough, yet. but of course, that is why we pursue all these points and miles.
