JUST LOOK AT THE ANTICIPATION AND TENSION ..........LIKE A GUY GOING OUT FOR HIS FIRST DATE ( WHICH INCIDENTALLY HE HASNT YET !!!!!!!)

FINALLY A TIGER HAS BEEN SPOTTED IN A GRASSY PLAIN AND WE ARE WAITING FOR THE ELEPHANT RIDE TO TAKE US THERE...................

PENCH

THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE LEOPARDS LAIR.......WE WAITED AT DAWN AND WE WAITED AT DUSK AND WE SPOTTED EVERYTHING HERE EXCEPT THE LEOPARD

PENCH

EARLY MORNING IS A GREAT TIME TO SPOT THE BIRDS ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE HAVING AN OPEN VEHICLE.
A GOOD GUIDE KNOWS WHICH BIRDS NEST WHERE AND A GOOD PAIR OF BINOCULARS HELPS TOO.

PENCH WAS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE ALL TOGETHER .
ITS PROFESSIONALLY MANAGED AND MORE COMMERCIAL . FULL MARKS TO THE M.P. GOVT. FOR MAINTAINING SUCH A NICE PLACE . THE RULES ARE STRICTLY FOLLOWED IN THE JUNGLE AND THE TRAILS ARE WELL MAINTAINED . THE GUIDES ARE IN TOUCH THROUGH RADIO FOR SIGHTING OF ANIMALS .
ALSO THE JUNGLE IN PENCH IS MOSTLY TREES UNLIKE BAMBOO AND SHRUBS IN TADOBA AND KODASA SO SIGHTING ANIMALS IS EASY HERE .
