Manas and Kaziranga

Wow! India never ceases to amaze me. Golden langurs, hornbills, Rhinos, tigers, gibbons… and 1.2 BILLION people?!?! I travel around all these places and it’s just amazing to see how all this still exists!
It’s a great joy to witness, but I still wonder how long some of these places are going to survive and if many of these species can even make it into the next decade.
More pictures to come, but for now here’s a small set.
It was an awe-inspiring sight to see over 20 Rhinos grazing together. Along with the rhinos were herds of Wild Buffalo, hog deer and swamp deer.

This has to be one of the most beautiful langurs out there - The golden langur! This was one of my target species, and I'm glad I was able to find them :)

    I was born in dibrugarh, not too far off from the home of the one-horned rhino… that poaching still happens is a fact, and a sad one. I am also now actively into the hotel industry, and am much involved with the Jim Corbett National Park, and if you talk to the locals there, the news from there ain’t too encouraging either.

    Did you manage to see the white-winged wood duck? Another highly endangered species.

    I have also just started a blog on india hotels and holidays – http://www.indiahotelsholidays.com – would you like to add some linklove
