It wasn't a trip I had planned for

they have nothing better to do.

Sanctuary

true. The driver came on time, the
forest officials were courteous to a
fault and our guide, Mani, was a pro
who knew the Nilgiris inside out.

The increase in the number of pelicans

the Black Sea.

Even if you live in a big city like
Bangalore, nature is closer than you
think. A short drive away is an oasis

is beginning to get to you, go to
Sringeri. At least that’s what one
of my friends told me and she was
right.
Indian Blue Peafowl
Large birds far more often seen on the
ground than in the air, peafowl are
unmistakable.
