His Imperial Majesty's Shoot, Nepal 1911
Sentries guard the gate to George V's camp. The bungalow, built especially for the King, is on the left. George V's party used two camps during the trip. The first was at Sukhibar on the Rapti river where the party encamped for five days, then the party moved to a second camp at Kasra, some eight miles farther up the river for the remainder of the trip. The second camp duplicated the first. The Maharaja of Nepal was in a separate camp lower down on the Rapti river. His 14,000 followers camped hidden in the jungle behind.
