It was dark, the sun
had not yet risen, it was cold up there in that machan-like platform that was
level with the elephant's back. The mist was disconcerting; it created a
illusion of warmth, it was so much like smoke but when it touched you it was
damp, limp hand. ~ Jahnavi Barua (Rebirth)
Woke up at pre-dawn and headed for Bagori range from our
lodge, it was too cold in the open jeep. I had to grab myself tight to escape
the cold wind. Half an hour later reached there, I was expecting that we will
be first to reach, but to my surprise more than a dozen cars already reached
there and waiting for the elephants to arrive.
Soon after about 6-7 elephants arrived and everyone headed to
the boarding point.

Making way through the tall elephant-grass soaked in dew the grassland delighted me.

Returning back |
After spending about half an hour we returned back to the boarding point feeling mystified with the colours and play of nature.
