Tigers, Pandas, Monkeys & Mountains…

April 27th, 2010 | Category: Journal,Projects,Sandesh Kadur

It’s been two months since I’ve left home base – Bangalore. The first stop (after Guwahati) – Kaziranga.
Spent two weeks in this landscape before the rains.
The highlight – Tigers!
Filmed some amazing natural history and behaviour of tigers in Kaziranga. Short film coming soon about that.
For now, here’s a picture:

Soon after, Chinmay and I headed to the remote region of Tawang in Arunachal Pradesh. We were here looking for Munzala – The monkey of the Deep Forest. This is one of the most recent primate discoveries. More in detail about that later – but here’s an image for now.

Macaca munzala

Then after that crossed over to Nepal to look for what is, without any argument one of the cutest little creatures of the Himalaya – The Red Panda…

The Red Panda - Nepal

It was an arduous climb up and down the Himalaya at the foothills of Kanchendzonga. But it was all well worth the effort. Now in Sikkim to photograph the Rhododendron flowers which are in full blossom at the moment.
here’s an image of what they look like in Sandakphu – with a background of the snow-capped Kanchendzonga mountain range…

More about everything later…
Another month of travel to go before heading back to Bangalore :-)
