    Its been a while, huh thinking where to start !!! Let me start from the booking procedure :)

    Tadoba !!! what tadoba ??? this is where i started with wild-india (http://www.wild-india.in/) and came back with great memories , met great people (Suru,Mrs.Suru, Rupali) off course last but not least Mr.Bhavesh & Mr.Sunil (Founders of wild india).
Great hospitality from them , waiting for next trip and got a good itenary for Bandhavgarh.

Immediately decided to book and called up Sunil to confirm. Booked flights to Mumbai. Was eagerly waiting for Feb 17.

    Started from my house to Bangalore airport ( boring one+ hour travel) , boarded the train and reached mumbai at 11:45am. Had a nice food near to Dadar station.
Got a call from Bhavesh and met him at Dadar station, after long time had a great chat and finally @ 1:45 pm boarded Garib Rath to Jabalpur.

    Met Sunil , his better half (Rupali) & some great personalities (Prashant Sir ,Sundaram Sir, Leela Mam, Santosh, Anil Sir, Parveen Ji, Priyanka).

    Started to Bedaghat as planned, had breakfast at MP tourism and amazing birding also. Started with a good lifer (Egyptian Vulture).
Boating there was amazing with a cool landscape and marble rocks everywhere !!! superb arrangement !!! enjoyed a lot there !!! Again a lifer (Majestci Indian eagle owl) and vultures flying over head)
Went to nearby water falls(i call it as small niagara). Fabulous it was !!! 

   Around 11:30 am started from Jabalpur to Bandhavgarh, more excitement !!! Reached TigerGarh resort at 3:30 pm with a pleasant welcome by Mr.Gagan and co.Had a good lunch too...
Tigergarh definitely a heaven inside the forest with nice infrastructure and well planned resort. Evening had a small walk around the resort... Racket tailed drongo showed its beauty !!! one more lifer !!!

Everyday was getting better and better !!! lot of fun, lot of chats :) :)
