International Tiger Day 2020

29th July is International Tiger Day, also called the Global Tiger Day.

It is meant to increase the awareness about conservation of Tigers in the world. Increase in tiger population indicates healthy ecosystem.

Many groups/departments/zoos will organise events on the Tiger Day.

We will share some of our stories on Tiger Reserves in India. We sighted tigers in some of these reserves and were not so lucky in others despite numerous safaris. That is the lure of a tiger. You don't give up.

Here we go!

Ranthambor

After 25 years in search of a tiger, we were lucky to sight T-24 the famed tiger of Ranthambor. Located in Rajasthan, Ranthambor is easily accessible. You may like to browse a set of six inter linked stories.

Bandipur

Bandipur in Karnataka and Mudumalai in Tamil Nadu - both the Reserves are easily accessible. Get a feel of the forest through our stories.

Srisailam

It is the largest Tiger Reserve in India. However, we were not so lucky to have a tiger sighting!

Kanha

This was our first Reserve to visit. Even after multiple visits in 1980s, we could not sight a tiger there.

Like all good things in life, Tiger sighting also requires patience. So, if you want to see the king of the jungle roaming freely in his kingdom, follow him. Do not disturb him. Do not litter or degrade his jungles. Do not cut or destroy trees. Effort of every person counts!

Let the tiger prosper. Mankind will also prosper!

Happy Tiger Day!
