Panoramas from various places during the course of the three day camp

(From top to bottom)
  1. A slight devour en route Phansad took us to our First stop-Therunda village, near Revdanda fort - where an enthusiastic local nature lover's backyard places host to the skeleton of a baby blue whale (6 month old) which beached ashore. A very interesting sight indeed.
  2. A small but dense forest near the village of Supegaon is protected by the villagers as the believe it to be the 'sacred forest'. (This concept of the scared forest is more or less consistently seen all over India and plays a very important role of preserving rich gene pools of Endemic flora and fauna.)This particular one called “Devrai” is a great place to spot birding activity.
  3. This sort of grasslands intersperse the evergreen Anjan forest of Phansad at regular intervals. Great spots for catching up with the soaring raptors.
  4. A view from a watch tower facing the west reveals a beautiful view of the scenic coastline along the Kashid beach.
