I have picked up an easy and practical way to live like royalty even now and satiate my senses. Read...Read More
Wildlife enthusiasts love the Leopard. Though the Lion and the Tiger hold their places because of their majesty and élan, it is the Leopard that is big game hunting’s (with the camera) ultimate prize. Seen atop trees, rock dens, thick foliage, dense green bushes, the Leopard’s rosettes make amazing clicks for the camera. Problem is...Read More
I had heard of Chauragarh, second time in my life when we reached Kedarnath an year ago (Oct 2019). There, after the arduous trek to the sacred temple from the base camp, and after we had our “darshan” with the Lord, we were perambulating the temple courtyard when I noticed a huge and heavy steel...Read More

We mostly get to hear about Masai Mara in Kenya but do you know that there are 54 national parks in Kenya and one of those lesser known ones is Samburu National Park on the banks of the Ewaso Ng’iro river. Samburu is 350 kms from Nairobi and this was our first & one of...Read More
We were quite excited to leave Masaimara (Mara for short) for Serengeti (Geti for short and cool). We had reasons to be. We had seen almost everything there was in wildlife (except Leopard) in Mara, where every safari session was pure awesome. And now, Serengeti – which is ten times the size of Mara –...Read More
How could I miss this one in MP ( Madhya Pradesh, India) given that the density of tiger population at Bandhavgarh is one of highest known. I had been to Pench, Tadoba, Kanha but Bandhavgarh was long pending in my list. And so, last October though I was supposed to go to Rajasthan, I twisted and...Read More
We were in a sullen mood a day before. Serengeti National Park was turning out to be a real pain. First, it was such a huge park that one needs to drive for hours before one could see something crawling at a distance and hope it was a predator. Second, roads are fairly limited within...Read More

240km away from Guwahati’s Bordoloi airport lies the Rhino land of Kaziranga. While Rhino seekers can divert themselves to the nearby Pobitora (45km away) for a quick dekko, the awe is only felt in the Rhino swagger territory of Kaziranga. And for that, you need to be here. Kaziranga is overflowing with Rhinos. Not for...Read More
This was my first time to Assam. Landed at the Guwahati airport and booked a local cab for Pobitara. Looking at us the driver asked me, ‘ madam do you have a home in Pobitora’? I could understand his confusion. People from Bangalore, only a lady and a kid, in north east, in Assam and...Read More
It’s an irony that once a tiger nation where the presence of tigers literally disturbed common life in many regions, now has become a nation where tiger sightings even in deep forests is a matter of luck. There has been improvement in the no. of tigers since last couple of years in India but the...Read More
It does feel totally blessed to be able to spend the night literally under the sky with stars and the moon above, in a cottage which has an open roof and is situated near the banks of a river. And am talking about a distance of just 220 plus km from Bangalore. Amazing right? This place...Read More

Limited things, limited choices.And now that we have been staying in Bangalore for so many...Read More

Bangalore to Kabini river lodge Born in Pachmarhi, my love for jungles still runs through my bloodstream.
