The golden hour in the grass lands of Dhikala provides beautiful photographic opportunities, with some luck of course. We were all set to capture the moving herd of elephants with the reservoir and orange sky in background. But one gypsy coming from other side spoiled all our shots as elephant herd stopped moving in the direction we expected.…

On the afternoon of the 30th of January, we moved through the different beats of Panna with quiet hope, seeking the great striped monarchs of the forest. Yet, as the hours wore on, the jungle withheld its tigers, and not a whisper of their presence came to us.

By late afternoon we reached the boating point by the river, and there, in the…

We were on our first safari in Tadoba Buffer. As usual the gypsy driver and guide were busy searching for tigers. They were always saying that even though we have Leopards in this area, they are very elusive. Thats when we saw this beautiful cat. It was in November and the forest was green. In between the shade, there was a small beam of…

In the quiet grasslands of Panna Tiger Reserve, the evening light softened the forest as two magnificent tigers—P661 and P151(32)—shared a rare moment of tenderness.

With eyes gently closed, the pair touched faces in silent affection, a beautiful reminder that even the most powerful predators carry moments of calm and connection.

Witnessing such…

The Flame-throated Bulbul is one of the Western Ghats’ quiet bursts of colour — a bird that seems almost painted. he bird gets its name from rich yellow tones, warmed further by the small but unmistakable patch of orange red flamed throat. Above this brightness sits a velvet-black head. When soft light hits, it appears less like a feather…
