KANHA DAY 5 June 10th, 2018…..

Being in kanha was a true blessing. I cant describe how much it means to my soul and wellbeing. Just being inside an Indian jungle means so much to me, and I hope others will also have a chance to experience this feeling. The feel of the wind blowing and the chirping and calls of the many species of birds is extraordinary. As you are driving through the winding paths you inhale the sweet intoxicating smell of the forests. And the most exciting part about it is all of a sudden you notice some movement and a beautiful tiger could be staring right at you with that piercing look. Or a handsome deer, a mother with her fawn looking for food and safety. You must be fully aware of all your surroundings and be as quiet as possible.

Kanha also has a museum with many informative history about the history of the park. There is also a beautiful arch made out of the horns of deer that have died and been collected.

On our last drive we had some rain. It started raining so hard that we had to exit the park as many of the roads became a little flooded. But I was able to see the remains of a huge gaur where a tiger was having a feast. The white bones was the only part we saw laying on the meadow. Not even a vulture was in sight. The bones had been cleaned very well. When we reached another area of the reserve there was a huge pond and there must have been 100s of frogs because this is the only noise that we heard. Also that morning we had come across a crested serpent eagle sitting in a tree with a kill. To our surprise two crows were disturbing him for his food.

At the resort Celebration Villas, I also enjoyed my stay. Many of the resorts in India are very comfortable and have a very natural setting, which make you feel as if you are in the jungle already. Most people I know like to relax while on vacation and these places are the best i feel.

So I am looking forward to visiting Kanha again very soon to enjoy the best India has to offer.
