My date with leopards and tuskers
Our trip to the Nagarhole National Park started from Bangalore at 2 am
thanks to our friend Bhaskar. We picked up the others from office and by
7.30 am we had arrived at the Kallahalla range forest rest house near
Nagarhole.
• Airfare for Rs 100 and less!
The guesthouse is largely a wooden construction, and very well
maintained by the forest department. It was built in 1928 by the British
and stands majestic to this day, with a wonderful view of a large lake.
The lake, we were told, is a favourite haunt with the elephants during
the hot summer months.
After a quick breakfast we decided to explore the picturesque lake. One
end of the lake went deep into the jungle. As we stood absorbing the
beauty of the lake, we heard a roar -- a tiger roar. It was from the
other side of the lake, which was quite far away. We decided to go
further up the lake.
