Thandiberi Wildlife Sanctuary Visit

In December 2013, an office group went for a 2-day outing to this lovely patch of wilderness, tucked inside the Aravalli Hills in Rajasthan -  totally new unexplored area for me (I was of course invited to join!). It took 8 hrs of night drive from Ahmedabad for this group of 15 to reach the forest rest house, located about 50 km north of Ranaukpur, the famous Jain Temple city, further away from Udaipur.

What surprised us was the fact that 3 months past the monsoon withdrawal, the larg dam near our rest house was till overflowing, the streams still gurgling, the forest alive in rich green. The rest house is new, the facilities arranged were neat. The Rajasthani food cooked by locals was simply delicious!

The pictures tell you the rest....!
