Day2 - Simlipal National Forest

 

Come daylight and we are in the forest we are headed to riverside a few 100 meters from the gate of our forest residence. Birds we were looking to spot and we did spot some perched high.

and then as I went about photographing the jungle in swooshed a White Rumped Shama, and sat not 5 feet from me, I enjoyed photographing this bird from close quarter for a while.

The riverside bordering the river was a quiet place to be at and we observed nature at work as the sun climbed higher

 

 

 

Soon it begins to get warm and by 0800 hours we are headed for breakfast

 

 

 

A huge spread of variety of food starting from pani Poori to puri sabji. We ate well and lounged around admiring the property we are at: 

 

then at 1100 hours we are on our way back to Jamshedpur,time to say Bye Bye to Simlipal.

 

It was a quick drive back to tJamshedpur, we drove till 01430 hours and stopped for Lunch at My Favorite Billu Da Dhaba for some roti and dal tadka, after all I told my folks not to cook for me, and there would be no food waiting for me if I did'nt chow on the way.

 

We were back in town by 1600 hours , a great trip over all

180 km each way approx, took us 4 hours approx including stopping for food.
