BR Hills 22nd - 26th Nov '07


Did a 5 day trip to BR Hills. I have never seen BR Hills so dry, may be this is because of the road work happening.

There were regular Sambar alarm calls indicating Tiger movement, but no sightings. The 23rd evening I took a walk alone on the road, there were fresh Tiger sent marks all along & the thrill in walking alone on a Tiger path was awesome (scary).

Of the 5 five days I stayed, did 6 safaris into the Jungle. Didn't yield much sightings apart from the regular Gaur, Sambar, Spotted Deer, Elephant & Wild Boars. I also went on the Boodipadaga road twice during the stay. We were able to spot three,four horned antilopes(considerably good count of this elusive & shy deer).



Here are the images from the trip.
