We chose the worst week of the year to land up in Kanha National Park. The whole world was there, or so it seemed, to see the tigers. With 150 Jeeps criss crossing the reserve, not to speak of the racket that their occupants were causing, it wasn't hard to understand how the poor animals must have felt. They decided to do a no-show! Disappointing as that was, the trip was otherwise great. Kanha is 2000 plus square kms of dense forest in the heart of India. Magnificent in its sweep and mysterious in its silence, the forest beckons all true seekers. We stayed at this wonderful forest retreat called 'The Baagh', on the periphery of the national park. The quality of the accomodation, excellent home like food and above all, the outstanding hospitality, made our stay truly memorable. The more I see of this great country the greater the yearning to see more of it. India is truly incredible. We made a brief stop in Jabalpur to take in the Marble Rocks as well. Here are a few pictures from the trip.
