What is the concept of 300,000 RMB in Nepal?

It is equivalent to astronomical figures there.

In Nepal, the price of an elephant is about 300,000 RMB. For places where the annual salary in Nepal is less than 20,000 RMB, 300,000 RMB is simply astronomical, so local people will regard elephants as their most precious companions.

Elephants raised by Nepalese elephant workers are mainly Asian elephants. The Asian elephant is the largest existing continental animal in Asia, and its ivory is more than 1 meter long. They are male elephant's incisors protruding from the maxilla, and they are also powerful defensive weapons.

Riding an elephant is a star tourism project in Chitwan, which has become the main source of livelihood for elephant workers and elephants. Each elephant takes four groups of tourists into the virgin forest for exploration every day. Elephant workers and elephants work 8 hours a day, which is very hard in the hot and humid weather in Nepal. The income of an elephant worker has to support a family.
