Come December every year, and it brings a flock of polo enthusiastics to Nepal. The Headquarter of World Elephant Polo Association is located at the Tiger Tops Jungle Lodge in Chitwan, Nepal. The world's Elephant Polo Association (WEPA) was born in Nepal, at Gier Tops Jungle Lodge in the Royal Chitwan National Park which is located south west of Nepal.

The game is much like the horse polo. Usually there are nine elephants on the field (each team has four elephants, and one for the empire), each player sits behind an experienced elephant driver, players communicate with the driver to steer the elephant. This game originated from Nepal, is now played in many countries.
