Nepal's annual international elephant polo tournament has been attracting players, locals, and tourists from across the globe since 1982. This year, eight four-member teams took part in the event, with players flying in from over ten countries.

The game is based on horse polo, but with two people on the back of each elephant. But according to organizers, this year may be the last tournament in Nepal as they intend to focus more on the welfare of these gentle giants.
