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.

lovely pictures... wish you'd add captions.
Your bird pics are getting better with each attempt.
I am delighted that you are posting once again.
Very nice photographs, and it is nice of you to upload fairly large ones.
Seen the Captions. Nice

Facinating foreword and fine photographs....truly, an invitation to incredible India.
Your pain of missing the big cats comes out very clearly; rather conspicously! Nice pictures.
Photographs are stunning, subject has changed however quality is better than my memory serves me and the picture on our wall at home. Truly dissapointing that you were not able to see the tiger it is majestic in the wild and no words can do it justice. Maybe next time try Ranthambore, I have seen tiger there on every trip though have not been back in a long time.
I agree with you 100 %. The more I see of India, the more I want to see. We had a great holiday in the western parts of Karnataka covering Chikmagalur, Karwar, Jog and Hampi. Outstanding scenery and outstanding heritage. Did you get to see the Fossils Park in Jabalpur during your recent trip to MP.
nice photos...esp the 4th one :)
