An elephant dubbed the “world’s loneliest” after languishing alone for years in a zoo in Pakistan was greeted on his arrival in Cambodia by chanting Buddhist monks and was then sent on his way to a wildlife sanctuary.

Like other travellers during these times, Kaavan needed to be tested for Covid-19 before his flight.
