We had planned a trip to Kanha – Bandhavgarh to do some tiger watching in the wild. As luck would have it, we did not get the first day booking at Kanha . Hence we decided to stay one night at Pench. Pench is about a two and a half hour drive from Nagpur. That gave us two safari rides at Pench. We did the Pyorthadi (pronounced Pyor-th’di I think) route in the evening and the morning looking for leopards but, no luck. We did spot jackals and birds though. Jammed into a resort safari jeep with six total passengers….tough on getting any half decent pictures. But, we did meet a few “Bandra Boys” who were pretty… cool 🙂 . Of course we missed a tigress and her cubs on the track by five minutes. Here is this Jackalscape pic from Pench.

In the pic on the right above, the Jackal turned to look for a second but, I missed the focus by a mile. Usual things that happen while photographing wildlife ….

We stayed at Tuli Resort. Pretty good Id say, from a stay point of view, but for the safari, quite a mess. Felt real strange trying do some photography with a bawling six month old also in the jeep…. sigh . Bandra Boys..you missed this one 😉
I also met up Sandeep Desai , a numero uno wildlife photographer and exchanged notes. He highly recommended Mogli’s Resort. Besides they had a jeep which was tripod friendly as well.

Dude, the jackal pic is just too eye catching . It looks straight out of an African jungle .Brilliant !!
