In India’s famous national parks and sanctuaries (e.g. Corbett, Ranthambore, Tadoba), wildlife lovers and tourists can easily catch sight of the most charismatic and emblematic animal, the Bengal Tiger – India’s national animal. But the truly wild ones are found in North-east India (Assam and Arunachal Pradesh). With very limited interaction with humans, tigers in north-east India are actually elusive in true sense.
In my blog “Mesmerizing Manas – A True EDEN Of Natural Biodiversity” I have already shared my experience about the encounter with different exotic and rare species in Manas National Park. Somehow deep in my soul I was searching for something special, unexpected; needless to say I wanted to try my luck to witness the amazing feline, the evergreen royal beauty, the endangered Bengal Tiger. As they say, sighting of big cats in Manas National Park, unlike other celeb national parks in India is altogether a different ball game. But my lady luck had something special for me under her sleeves.
