With the help of a Maratha nobleman, Mark Shand buys an elephant
named Tara and rides her over six hundred miles across India to the
Sonepur Mela, the world's oldest elephant market. From Bhim, a
drink-racked mahout, Shand learned to ride and care for her. From
his friend Aditya Patankar he learned Indian ways. And with Tara,
his new companion, he fell in love. "Travels on my Elephant" is the
story of their epic journey across India, from packed highways to
dusty back roads where communities were unchanged for millennia. It
is also a memorable, touching account of Tara's transformation from
scrawny beggar elephant to star attraction, and of the romance that
developed between her and her owner Mark Shand. For what began as
an adventurous whim has developed, decades later, into a life of
campaigning to provide vital migratory corridors for these
magnificent creatures whose habitat is under constant assault from
man.
