Another Photo of Chitwan. You can see the water, sand and vegetation is the same as in the Challenge

Great job and lots of thanks to the previous poster who unlocked this one. Now we just have to be patient for a week.

Here is the original image with the camels.

Yesterday I submitted 'Royal Chitwan National Park, Nepal'
Today I guess I should submit just 'Chitwan National Park' Nepal' to be on the safe side!

Great work, on this one all!

Anyone from "ineligible" locations received points for this? It lets me enter, but I don't know if I will get the points credited.

I'm starting to feel a little left out. Can't do the Anywhere Challenge, no Crack the Case invite, and most of my travel is to Asia so can't do this year's free nights promo

Hey all. Quick question. Once you've guessed on day 1, is it wise to guess on day 2 with a tweak of the name?

Yes, I have. We don't know at this point how strict PC is going to be about getting the name exactly right.

FWIW, I'm sticking with my day one answer. The risk I see is that if your answer is correct on day one you get 2K, but if your answer is "more" correct on day two, you might only get 1.5K. There's also the possibility that tweaking your answer makes it "less" correct and you don't get any points at all.

Also, the T&Cs indicate that guesses don't have to be perfect, e.g. minor mispellings. I'd posit that not having "Royal" in your week two guess isn't going to hurt.

I'd hope that this isn't really a possibility, but until they start posting points we won't know for sure. There are two accounts in my family and we've tried different approaches this week: first account with "Royal" on day one and without on day two, second account the other way round.
