From Churua a further stretch of the highway continues along another stony river-bed until, after seven miles Hatawa is reached. This village is in the heart of the best sporting country, and is usually the starting point for 'shikar' expeditions. Ordinarily it is a squalid collection of huts, but becomes a bustling centre of life when, as in the days of the great jung Bahadur, it was made the rendez vous for a tiger, rhino, or elephant hunt. Nearby, rippling over a rocky bed, is the Rapti River, and there miles further on, where it is joined by the Samri, is a useful suspension bridge.
