Charging Elephant in Kabini

Charging Elephant in Kabini

July 16, 2018December 23, 2019 Thomas Suresh Anand Leave a comment

On this trip to Kabini, we were greeted with showers, given that it was the monsoon season. The great thing about monsoon is that the forest is transformed and the color saturation is at a new high. As we entered the park, we saw a huge tusker standing beside a tree. The moment the Tusker […]

We once again drove into the Junone buffer zone of Tadoba National Park in search of the largest Tiger in India. We reached the watering hole that he had been frequenting the last couple of days and found a vantage point and parked our jeep. We waited for over 30 minutes in the 47 degrees […]

August 8, 2017December 23, 2019 Thomas Suresh Anand 8 Comments

When Matkasur – Tadoba’s dominant Tiger disappeared into the creek, we thought that was the end of the amazing sighting. Our guide pointed out that there was a distinct possibility of him reappearing a little further down the road. This time we positioned our Jeep at the perfect distance and angle from the probable reappearance […]

March 8, 2017December 23, 2019 Yoav Perlman Leave a comment

As I had limited wifi and time in Ranthambhore, my ‘real-time’ blogposts from there were rather brief.

A birder’s paradise at an Indian festival

A birder’s paradise at an Indian festival

December 27, 2016December 23, 2019 Supertrooper Leave a comment

There was a flash of the richest blue, as the bird emerged from the forest and strutted across the path in front of us. Instantly recognisable, yet at the same time oddly unfamiliar, it lifted its neck and flicked an enormously long tail, before melting into the vegetation, never to be seen again. Encountering a […]

On a cloudy day in July, in a remote village in northeastern India, Charu Das excitedly imitates the awkward movements of a stork with her hands. In a few months, the greater adjutant stork—called hargilla, which means “swallower of bones” in Sanskrit—will descend on this hamlet, situated in Assam’s Brahmaputra Valley, to breed in large […]
