Back from Bandipura

by Jour ~ Monday, November 17, 2008 Labels: , , ,

Thanks for your wishes. I am back in Bangalore and it has been a day of power cuts and traffic jams.It was refreshing to be in the wilds again..I was staying at Bandipur Safari Lodge, a beautiful property of Jungle Lodges and Resorts overlooking the hills.A bit of a bad luck as I missed out most of the sighting. We missed leopards and elephants, but saw this beautiful peacock ready to do a jig for us.I believe there is more to a wild holiday than just safaris and wildlife and I will be posting about it soon.
