Heart Pumping Sighting
"
After two and half hours of painstaking tracking which covered paw prints on the mud track, warning calls from the Jungle Internet and study of tiger behavior, our experienced guide made that long anticipated cry "Tiger." Then we had the first glimpse of the gorgeous tigress Trishooli striding through the golden stalks of grass in the Magadhi Zone of Bandhavgarh National Park. And then we witnessed a stunning process of stalking by the tigress of its spotted deer prey. A once in a lifetime experience!
