Last Sunday morning i can never forget for times to come... It rained heavily on saturday evening due to which there was lot of mist and fog on sunday morning. As we got leapord sighting in Zone A we thought of heading back there but luck has it way.. we were allotted to Afsar's jeep and a few expers were in the same jeep...This jeep was going to Zone B.
We were the first to enter the Zone, as we were entering inside scanning the place in low light.. Sun rays started penetrating through the mist to make our sighting and images better. While the jeep was moving in we see fresh pug marks on both sides of the road in opposite directions..
Mohan one of the experts made his calculations and quickly arrived at a conclusion to move further.. and his judgement was bang on and Afsar starts whispering strongly "Tiger, Tiger, Tiger..." as our jeep stops at 50 to 60 mtrs away from the Big Male Tiger.. The King makes a turn gives a 20 second stare afterwhich gracefully walks into the woods... Thus King of the Jungle making my day and making my visit worth while...
