Birding at Soochipara ,Wayanad

"Soochi means needle
and para means rock"

Soochipara waterfalls, Wayanad District cascade down from a height of 100 to 300 feet, offering a breathtaking sight. It is near Meppadi, south of Kalpetta. The falls can be reached by a 2-km walk into the dense equatorial forest.

I found a small group of Malabar Grey Hornbills (Ocyceros griseus) in the forest patch near the falls. Check out one of them in this habitat shot.

Periyar Tiger Reserve, Kerala, INDIA

Just got back from an amazing tour of Kerala with my friends from Mumbai. One of the highlights have to be our treks in the Periyar Tiger Reserve - one of the best known national park of the country.

We went for two treks - a whole day trek and a two hour midnight trek. Both were exhilarating experiences. Though we didn't see much wildlife because of our lack of knowledge of were to look and bad luck we hardly saw any animals, but none the less being in the jungle is something else. Here's a few snaps just for memory.This was clicked during the early morning boat ride.

And here is the most well known image of the park.
