King George V's Exhilarating Jungle Expedition: A Royal Moment Captured in Nepal, 1912 This evocative photograph, taken in 1912, captures a moment of relaxation and adventure for King George V during his jungle expedition to Nepal. Seated confidently atop his majestic elephant, the monarch wears a stern yet contented expression as he surveys the lush Nepalese terrain before him. With a rifle in hand and a determined look in his eyes, King George V embodies the spirit of the intrepid explorer and skilled hunter. The King's holiday in Nepal, known as the "Napel Teri" expedition, was an opportunity for him to escape the rigors of royal duty and indulge in his passion for the great outdoors. The jungles of Nepal offered him the perfect setting for his favorite pastime – hunting. Accompanied by a retinue of trusted advisors, soldiers, and local guides, King George V embarked on a thrilling adventure through the dense foliage, tracking and shooting various game animals. This image, which graced the front cover of The Sphere magazine in 1912, provides a glimpse into the life of a royal figure far removed from the grandeur and formality of the palace. The photograph not only showcases the King's love for the hunt but also highlights his connection with the natural world and the people of Nepal. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time, allowing us to share in the excitement and wonder of King George V's jungle expedition.
