Follow Me said the Tigress

"Follow me"
Said who?
The tigress.
Tigers can't speak.
But this one did.
Where?
In Tadoba Tiger Reserve.

Did the picture say so? Would you not follow the tigress?
Ghumakkad had some lucky sightings in Tadoba yesterday. Two females and one male tiger!
Glimpses.







Hope these pictures have whet the appetite of scores of tiger lovers worldwide. Detailed stories of each of the encounters will follow.

Who were the crazy lot to brave 47 degrees heat? Six grand parents!

Thanks for browsing

  2. Very brave to venture out in such heatwave conditions with TV news announcement that Chandrapur, Maharashtra was the hottest spot in the country with 47.8 degree C, repeated occurrence after a decade (10 years).
    PS - B"include both the Tiger & the venturing party"

    1. We had to carry two litres ORS water for each of us that afternoon! That helped us survive in 47 degrees Celsius.
