Mr.Rajshekaran (Raj) called me on 05-Jan-2007 and asked me if I was interested,  I had previously visited BR Hills in May 2006 &lt;a href="http://bangaloredaredevil.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html" _fcksavedurl="http://bangaloredaredevil.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html"&gt;http://bangaloredaredevil.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html&lt;/a&gt; and due to the bad roads; my Honda city could not take the pain and had to back up midway of K Gudi runway. I was excited to go as my passion to see the wild cats (tigers) increased day by day. Raj and NandaKumar visited the &lt;a href="http://www.junglelodges.com/index.asp" _fcksavedurl="http://www.junglelodges.com/index.asp"&gt;Jungle lodge resorts office at MG Road&lt;/a&gt; &amp; booked the tent house for&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;07 Jan 2007:&lt;br /&gt;Swashbucklers had to assemble at Vennar, Jayanagar at 05:00 AM. I got up around 04:00 AM and left my house in my bullet. My hands felt numb on reaching Vennar, the climate was that chill at Bangalore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was happy that all of us (Raj, Nand Kumar and Lingraj Patil) assembled on time and headed towards Mysore Road in Maruti Alto. Our first pit stop was after Ramanagara, where we stretched ourselves and took some snaps of the swashbuckler’s team.&lt;br /&gt;We reached Madur junction by 07:00 AM and took a deviation towards Malavalli. We had our breakfast at Kollegal around 09:00 AM and headed towards BR Hills.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We reached the BR Hills check post around 10:30am and entrance of BR Hills runway was like a gateway to heaven. The roads were good as Dr. Abdul Kalam (President of India) had visited K Gudi couple of months back. I wish all the high profile central government officials keep visiting the wild camp often. We took a deviation from BR Hills and headed towards Kyathadevara Gudi. The drive to K Gudi was like sitting in an AC room (the cool breeze) and watching a movie (Scenery around).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Arrived at Jungle Lodge Wilderness camp at 11:00 AM, our Swiss tent house was ready to be occupied. The view from tent house was breathtaking. The camp was setup in such a way that we felt the touch &amp; feel of the jungle, cut-off from the motor world, pollution and going deep into the wilderness of the nature. We had a good scenic view from the tent house. The camp official advised us to keep the tent door closed, not to keep any valuable items unattended. The reason being, the monkeys in the camp pick anything that is under their radar. There are a couple of activities that you can explore at the camp. These are tree top watch tower, jumping net and bird watching. The food was so delicious that we had to take a siesta before we geared up for the safari at 04:00 PM.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; We assembled at the Maharaja Suite, where Naturist Mr. Vikranth briefed us about the safari Do’s and Don’ts. He mentioned about the history of K Gudi. K Gudi temple was built by Mysore Maharaja. The stretch of K Gudi is the place where the Eastern Ghats merge with the Western Ghats. This place once upon a time was terrorized by Veerapan (smuggler, poacher and kidnapper). Lots of tribes around the Eastern and Western Ghats, Soliga Tribe being one of them was given a visit by Dr.Abdul Kalam a couple of months back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, we all set to go for the safari and I had to introduce my new Camouflage pants which I had bought a couple of months back and never had a chance to wear it until the D – DAY…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We got into the Safari jeep with naturist Mr. Kumar. The tiger trail was an awesome path, after traveling deep into the jungle, the first animal we came across was a Spotted Deer. Mr. Kumar stated that there are three types of Deer in K Gudi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Spotted Deer/Chital: It’s the most commonly found member in forest. Its life expectancy is around 20-30 years.&lt;br /&gt;Barking deer: Named after its CALLS which resembles the barking of a dog. They are in solitude and warn other animals by barking on spotting a tiger.&lt;br /&gt;Mouse deer: This deer of just 1 foot is rarely spotted in safari. If you would like to sight one, you may have to opt for trekking.&lt;br /&gt;Sambar Deer: Tiger’s most delicious food.&lt;br /&gt;And not to forget Leopard’s favorite food is DOG....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We found pack of bisons’, their majestic stand makes you go wild on the lush green grass. We could not sight any elephants so thereby naturist Kumar took us to the Water hole. We got off the jeep to stretch our feet and get some snaps around the water hole. After a while we heard the barking deer barking loudly and the langur monkey yelling. Kumar told us that the tiger was somewhere around the water hole. I turned my camera from click mode to video mode. I switched on the recording and looked for tiger. The barking went louder &amp; louder. The bark of the deer and the yell of langur monkey sent a shiver up the spine. It was as though the tiger was watching us rather than us watching it. We waited for around 20 minutes and were so close to seeing a tiger, but could not spot it. The barking deer stopped barking. The sun was setting down and it was time for us to get back to the camp. On the way back we located herd of Elephants deep down the valley. My camera could not catch the herd because of bad light and the distance was quite far. I wish I had those zooming camera lenses of Nikon D200/Canon DSLR.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The darkness had occupied the forest and all we could see was spotted deer, sambar deer and bisons. Their eyes shined like laser when the headlights of the jeep hit them. Reached base camp at 07:00 PM, had quick snacks and tea. The camp was lit by generator run electricity till 10:30 PM and from there on we had lantern and torch. It was a perfect look of a JUNGLE… I really loved the way the camp was designed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We spent our time outside the tent house glaring at the clear sky and stars. We had couple of drinks to escape from the chill weather. At 09:00 PM we had dinner and sat around the camp fire to enjoy the heat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;08 Jan 2007:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I got up at 04:00 AM to check if any of the animals were around the tent. The base camp is not fenced. Its open to the wild animals, an elephant or a tiger can be our guests anytime. I torched out of my tent to check if any wild animal was waiting for me to step out of the tent. It was pitch dark with stars showering less light and the sun had a wake up call only at 06:00 AM. I browsed the torch to the left and right, top on the trees imagining that I was being watched by a leopard, but my, search went in vain. The other swashbucklers got up by 05:00 AM and all of us reported at the Maharaja Suite for beverages and set ourselves for early morning safari.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kumar told us that animals are very rarely seen in the mornings. All we could see was deer in plenty, bison and Sambar deer. We stopped at another water hole, but could not site any wild animals. Took some snaps around the water hole and headed back to base camp.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We had seen a female elephant (name: Kanthi) yesterday at the camp which had a white cloth covering its body. I checked with Kumar as why is it so. Kumar told me that it was a tamed elephant of the forest department. Usually the mahout leaves Kanthi to graze in the forest in the evening and she comes back to the base the next morning. Twenty days back when it had gone to graze in the evening, it was attacked by wild elephants. When we got to see her, she was attacked by a tusker elephant which had pierced into her belly and unfortunately she was pregnant too. Luckily the baby was safe inside said the Veterinary Doctor. She was brutally attacked showing no mercy of being its own breed. Everyday she was given bath and treated with Medicine. She groaned and cried in pain when the medicine was applied. Sad, but that’s what wildlife is all about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We had breakfast at Maharaja Suite. I saw a pack of Wild boars walking past the tent. I made up my mind to follow them and take some snaps. As I followed them up the hill, one of the boars found that it was being followed and turned to me to attack. It was time for me to back up as it was with its babies. And no mother boar can see its babies under threat. I decided to say them a good bye and a good bye kiss to those little ones.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/pradeepmm/pic/00005bsw/" _fcksavedurl="http://pics.livejournal.com/pradeepmm/pic/00005bsw/"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/pradeepmm/pic/000066w2/" _fcksavedurl="http://pics.livejournal.com/pradeepmm/pic/000066w2/"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;We took an elephant (Kavitha) safari. The mahout (Chetan) took us into the forest. I was asking him about the elephant Kavitha.  She was 60 yrs old and had given birth to a baby elephant. Her name is Kaithe and is 8 yrs old. While taking the safari, Patil’s Maruti Alto was in the parking lot. I asked Chetan if he could ask Kavitha to walk over it, He said no issues; he just has to give a command to Kavitha. There went Patil yelling at me!! Chetan has been working for 9 years at jungle lodge camp. He gets Rs 1500 pm salary and is a contract employee. The forest department makes these mahouts permanent only after 10yrs of their service. His uncle who is a permanent employee earns Rs 5000 pm. The pity part was Chetan gets paid a meager amount of Rs 1500/- for which he has to take care of his family and Kavitha. Man! That is very sad…&lt;br /&gt; We enjoyed the elephant safari (thanks to Kavitha for bearing my weight). I took some banana chips off my pocket and headed towards the hammock near our tent house. My objective was to feed the baby monkeys and take few clippings and snaps of it. Initially, the monkeys were shy; the bigger monkeys won’t let the baby monkeys get the attention or share of the food. So I had tough time finding baby monkeys, when the bigger monkeys were not around. At first, the baby monkey was very inquisitive, later one of them made an effort to come down to me and pick chips from my hand. I wanted to spend more time with the monkeys but we had to check out from the camp.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We left Jungle lodge at 11:00 AM in the morning and headed back to the machine world. That was a good bye to Jungle lodge wilderness camp. I shall definitely visit the camp next time with high end camera and will prefer to stay for at least 2 days, hoping that I can spot the wild cat. It’s been a thrilling &amp; nerve wrecking experience at K Gudi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THANK YOU… K GUDI&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Gateway to BR Hills&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqK1i-C2pXnUR3XslCUnentDe6mQ171TXlh_thyphenhyphenu1S87lfqWEvtQBUq3Jqi9lTNom0qeN-zso1WsNS_qEhSP2q1ZntV5Tgvu6wkwSjL0KLSDC7xugCCUOk_fX1wycnP_-iP9pcBA/s640-h/IMG_0030.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5018745350371550466" style="FLOAT: left;

The gorgeous green of the fringed palms ripple in the blue waters and blend into wavelets.The people on the banks of Vembanad Lake are generally peace-loving and follow a neat and healthy lifestyle. Their dressing is immaculate, usually spotless whites. They keep their dwellings and surroundings very clean. The food mainly consists of rice and fish. For breakfast it is usually 'Dosa' or 'Idly', both made from rice paste, swallowed down with coconut chutney. Fish is a very important item in their menu for lunch and dinner. 'Karimeen' a spotted fish is a special gift of the backwaters.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1975/872/640/413996/IMG_0367.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CLEAR: all; FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="Gateway to Vembanad Lake" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1975/872/640/413996/IMG_0367.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gateway - Vembanad Lake &lt;span style="font-family:webdings;font-size:180%;"&gt;J&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1975/872/640/647328/IMG_0516.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1975/872/640/743825/IMG_0432.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CLEAR: all; FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1975/872/320/429023/IMG_0432.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:webdings;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;J &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Fishing&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; is a livelihood for the backwater people.

Doctors are worried about the onset of gangrene and may have to amputate his left palm. The Wildlife Trust of India and its partner, the International Fund for Animal Welfare have offered to cover his medical expenses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reconstruction of events and a video taken by the divisional forest officer, R.K.Das, graphically show how Joymala pinned down the tigress with her foot as it was trying to get up and attack the officers who had fallen on the ground.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The reconstructed story goes a bit like this: the forest department received a message early on May 19th about a large tiger which had killed two cows near Tamuli Pathar village, which is close to the boundary of the Kaziranga National Park (KNP) in the north-eastern Assam state.&lt;br /&gt;By 10 am a joint team of the Assam forest department including the director of the park, Mr N. K. Vasu, the local administration, police and the army, and the Wildlife Trust of India(WTI)-managed Centre for Wildlife Rehabilitation and Conservation (CWRC) was combing the area with five elephants trying to locate the animal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;File photo of the team that darted the tigers. Second from left is D.D.Boro who darted both tigers but missed the suspected mother, who later mauled the mahout.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjofKyhzswooJB-clh0qn-rYBFw7flAx0gJMd_DilPJeo5xJjQ6MISLOQPBNk2VoLAvToT6gqc7UBtXpbTMwOPJtpYcsEudsuSXS4kBJ6vWCz5IUNU5sxinvjKi7WUfYN5_RKBZrw/s1600-h/tiger_002.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5030895918349443218" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="File photo of the team that darted the tigers.

The tigers were released late on Monday evening in the eastern part of the Agoratuli range near the Matiaranga guard hut.&lt;br /&gt;“After looking around everywhere, we first spotted the tigress in a bamboo grove near the village. As it sensed our presence it moved into the backyard of a hut and then quickly walked into a nearby paddy field,” Dr Chaudhary said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Range officer, Dharanidhar Bodo, Dr Chaudhary along with a guard were riding the elephant, Joymala, driven by Pegu. Bodo was carrying the darting gun. As the elephant moved towards the tigress, it did a mock charge. The guard fired two blanks to discourage her and she ran away into the next field, where the paddy was thick and hid there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The team cautiously moved towards it and could get to almost 20 feet where she was growling away. Bodo could see her clearly and took a shot at it with the dart gun. The dart missed her and this enraged her so much that she charged and took a “flying” leap on to the elephant’s head. “I have not seen something as dramatic as this,” Vivek Menon, executive director WTI, who recently saw the footage, said. “I could never imagine that a tiger could so effortlessly leap from the ground on to an adult elephant’s head, which is at least 12 feet above the ground,” he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The footage showed that Pegu saw the tigress leaping and threw the metal ankush at it to defend himself. “The tigress saw the ankush coming, dodged it in mid-leap and took a swipe at Pegu without actually landing on the elephant, which had stepped back,” Menon said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“It all happened in a few seconds and before we knew what both Bodo and the guard had fallen down,” Dr Choudhary narrated. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;What now happened was even more amazing. As the tigress landed on the ground Joymala quickly pinned her down with her left fore foot and tried to control it with its trunk. The tigress struggled under this weight for at least half a minute roaring, as other people in the vicinity shouted and fired shots in the air. In this commotion another attempt was made to dart it, but even this shot was off the mark. The tigress finally struggled loose and ran away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“If it had not been for Joymala, both Bodo and the guard would have been badly injured or dead,” he said. Meanwhile, Joymala, which was trying to aggressively chase the tigress, was calmed by the CWRC veterinarian, who was holding on to the profusely bleeding mahout. “His fingers were hanging by few shreds of tissue and I tried to tourniquet the wounds,” he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The two sub-adult tigers had strayed out of the heavily wooded Agoratuli range of the KNP into the neighbouring Tamuli Pathar village close to the national highway. It was speculated that the mother could be nearby, but she could not be spotted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;KNP has one of the highest density of tigers among the protected areas in India , but are difficult to see due to the thick vegetation in this grassland dominated park.&lt;br /&gt;The Centre for Wildlife Rehabilitation and Conservation (CWRC) is a joint venture of the Assam forest department and the Wildlife Trust of India, and is supported by its partner the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW). This rescue and rehabilitation facility for animals of the region is a first of its kind facility in India has handled over 300 animals in the last two years including mega-herbivores like elephants, rhinos and wild buffaloes. These were the first tigers brought to the facility in two years of its existence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.wildlifetrustofindia.org/html/news/2004/040609_joymala.htm"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;http://www.wildlifetrustofindia.org/html/news/2004/040609_joymala.htm&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Source: Wild Life Trust Of India&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;©2006 BangaloreDareDevil, Inc.

So, the iteinary was drawn up and we headed south to the Iruppu falls. We reached the Nagarhole entrance at 6:00 in the morning. Eager to check on the wildlife, we drove into the sanctuary. Admiring the nature, we could not resist in capturing the nature on the digicam. The deer(s) / stag(s) were all around the place. Unfortunately we could not sight wild cats, elephants. We reached Irpu Resort at 9:00 am.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Iruppu falls is unique, right from its location to its beauty. With enough rains the previous night, Mother Nature looked like she had just finished her bath and was well-prepared to receive us that morning. Light breeze filtered through the trees on both sides of the road offering comfort, easing the strain of the previous night's journey.&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1975/872/640/IMG_0030.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CLEAR: all; FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1975/872/640/IMG_0030.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The whole day was pouring like dogs and cats. The next day, weahter was kind on us with small showers. We headed to Irpu Falls. At a distance we could see a big hill in the heart of which a white cloud emerged from behind the uncovering mist. Yes, that was the falls a few kilometres away, beckoning us. For a few minutes, we stood spellbound watching the milky waters washing down the hill. It was a beautiful sight indeed. We could not wait to get closer. We came to the end of the motorable road. As we walked from this point, the chirping of birds grew louder and louder and in its midst we could make out a constant hissing ! This is how the white beauty expresses her presence to travellers and they move in her direction. I stood rooted to a spot at the bottom of the hill. The pathway leading up to the hill from where the water jumps off is laid naturally by a stream of water which threatens climbers with its slippery surface and uneven edges. Such moist rocks are ideal for leeches to thrive on. We had to brave them, as well. As we climbed, the mysterious beauty of the hill began to unravel. Passing carefully over the rocks painted with lichens, we slowly made our way to the top. Water danced down the rocks giving instant relief to our tired legs and time just flew as we went on enjoying our trek through the flowing waters. But the mighty fall was still hidden from our view. As we continued our march across a hanging bridge, a light drizzle started. We moved on unmindful of it we were sheltered by the canopy that the huge trees on both sides of the pathway offered. The next turn made all of us gasp at once. There she was, the waterfall, roaring over the rocks as if somebody was waiting for her down below. Not wasting even a minute, we captured her from all angles, with our cameras, of course. As we moved closer, cameras had tobe put away to protect them from water splashing all around. They had to be put away because it was time to feast our eyes on the beauty we had come to see.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1975/872/640/IMG_0021.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CLEAR: all;

At a height of 5,091 feet above sea level, this hill stretches from north to south for about 16 Kms. All round are deciduous trees. And roaming amidst the long grass and tall trees are animals. Plenty of them! So if you're looking for a cool time with a little bit of wild excitement thrown in, welcome to B.R.Hills. Wake up to the chirping of birds &amp;amp; humming of bees. Breathe in fresh, clean air. Take a stroll through the sylvan surroundings.
