Sir
We saw a pack of about 20 dholes.We found them as soon as we entered the reception road(near the small hillock to the right).Gurudatta (JLR folk) said that for a long time they have not seen such a huge pack except a pair.

Good to know that the pack is back. I had sighted this pack in July 2010. Wish they were closer. Thanks for sharing.

Good to know there is a large pack in bandipur. However, during my visit to bandipur over the new year weekend, we happened to sight two single wild dogs on opposite sides of the ooty highway within a span of 20 min, but there was no sign of movement of such a large pack!

Cheers

Sir
We found the pack on the game track which is just opposite to the reception.
Even the pack consisted of young ones(sub adult) ill post it later.

Thanks for reply.:001_smile:

Have noticed from the number of images that Dholes seem to be easy to spot nowadays. I somehow have never been able to spot them, only the paw markings were seen. Ofcourse its also been 3 years since i visited a national park.
