Missing a Tigress with 4 cubs by a whisker in Bandipur, Karnataka: The Great Arabian Sea Drive Day 29
This will go down as a very disappointing day in my travelogue: I missed spotting a tigress with four cubs by just a couple of minutes. In Bandipur National Park, Karnataka. I was staying in Wayanad in Kerala but headed out for a safari across the state border in Bandipur; although not staying at the Jungle Lodges property there, I [...]

Kollur, Karnataka – Where Religion meets Nature: The Great Arabian Sea Drive Day 20
The drive to Kollur took me off the boring national highway back into the Western Ghats – the low traffic, winding hilly roads with forest cover on both sides sure are a roadie’s delight.

Also spotted in Velavadar, Gujarat – Antelopes, Wild Boars, Hyena, Jungle Cat: The Great Arabian Sea Drive Day 11
The reserve has no predators like tigers and lions – leaving the animals largely free from danger. Romance blooms, and the population increases. Good for them! Velavadar is also mostly off the tourist circuit. All this means animals and birds lead undisturbed lives – and visitors generally have terrific sightings. I did. After Blackbucks, the highest population in Velavadar is [...]

Meeting Blackbucks, the sweetest ones, in Velavadar, Gujarat: The Great Arabian Sea Drive Day 10
As far as sanctuaries go, Velavadar is the sweetest one. It is home to Blackbucks, beautiful members of the deer family. But don’t let the gentle beauty of Blackbucks fool you. They always take home the silver medal in running events clocking speeds of 80 kmph (50 miles per hour). Only the Cheetah pips them to the post. Velavadar has [...]

Gold Rush – Spotted four lions in Gir, Gujarat: The Great Arabian Sea Drive Day 9
Finally I strike gold – it is a day when I spotted four lions in a single safari. To the credit of my driver and guide. The first was a big lioness sitting stop a hill. Royally. It could not be bothered with the sudden vehicular activity a few metres away. It looked around, yawned, and lay down for an [...]

Spotted in Gir, Gujarat: The Great Arabian Sea Drive Day 9
Spend enough time in a forest and you will cannot fail to spot some of the most memorable sights! It was no different for me in Gir. Some of the species names are missing or incomplete; have not been able to research these as I am posting on the go. Will update when I have access to reference sources. A [...]

Gir Safari – Met the Maldharis: The Great Arabian Sea Drive Day 8
The safari in Gir National Park continued, and eventfully even if there were no lions. We passed some Maldhari settlements. They are tribal folks who have traditionally lived inside Gir. While hundreds have been relocated, many refuse to. They live in huts with no electricity; water comes from wells and streams. They maintain herds of buffaloes – up to 70-80 [...]

A Leopard poses for photographs in Gir National Park, Gujarat: The Great Arabian Sea Drive Day 8
I am off – for the first of the big cat safaris on this trip. Hoping to spot some of the last of the Asiatic lions on this planet – found only in Gir. If it were not for the promise of some wildlife sightings, I would not respond to the morning alarm going off at 5:30. Early to rise [...]

Osian, Rajasthan: Watching sunset with Karna Ram and his sheep
After the sunrise drive in the Thar desert in Osian in Rajasthan, I could not hold myself back to see what sunset would be like. I started early hoping to see more wildlife, but could only manage a few more Chinkaras. As the evening drew to a close, I huffed and puffed my SUV over a sandy dune to reach [...]

Hotel Review: Tiger Tops Tharu Lodge, Chitwan National Park, Nepal
If you are going to Tiger Tops Tharu Lodge in Chitwan National Park from the Jungle Lodge (another Tiger Tops property in Chitwant), make sure it is by boat. The 13 km downriver journey allows you to enjoy the tranquility of the blue waters, and usually presents opportunities to spot sun-bathing crocodiles and exotic birds flying around. And locals fishing [...]

Ranthambhore: Looking the tiger in the eye
Would you ride in an open Gypsy in temperatures in excess of 50 degrees Celsius? With the sun threatening to burn everything in sight, and the desert sand piercing your skin like countless needles? In conditions half as harsh, my sanity would risk extinction. But not if I am on the trail of the tiger in the Ranthambhore National Park [...]
