688 kilometres and 12 long hours is what it took us to reach Amboli,a hill station in south maharastra. Once reached a weird cloud of confusion hovered over me,as numerous new species of butterflies competed for attention.

The mornings were cold and the butterflies were almost there by 10am. But the night trails were most exciting(we were with four other guys by the way).Snakes and geckos being nocturnal,creep out a the darkest hour. Armed with a torch we set out,keeping a close watch on the branches and the ground. First catch being a malabar pit viper with lazily curled itself around one of the small branches. Vine snakes are diurnal and pretty common,while the cat snake was a treat.

Dear Omkar,
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to believe that those are actual snake. Advait was thrilled to see the photographs. They appear as if we are watching some discovery Channel. Grate work and remarkable photgraphy.
