[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I was in Bandhavgarh earlier this month for a couple of full day safaris - I had booked for four days, but got grounded in Chennai for the first two days by Cyclone Michaung. Something is better than nothing, I guess. The first instalment of photographs of this trip is a documentation of a stroll through a sun-dappled forest by a tigress called Katiba in the Kithauli Zone. The light was spectacular, and I could have chosen any of the frames I shot, but chose the selection here as a representation. Her belly looks heavy - either she had just had a good meal, or she was pregnant. If the latter, next December should be a good time to plan a Bandhavgarh safari!
