Your
Friend, Philosopher and guide, the Mahout points out the signs along the
way-the pugmarks, the drag of a kill-and signals you to be quiet and alert.
And you are well on your way to a rendezvous with the Tiger. Over grassy
glades, undulating hills, and steep rocky slopes of Kanha you travel in a
Jeep or on the back of an Elephant. Catch a glimpse of the jewel of Kanha,
the swamp deer(Barasingha), as it leisurely wallows amongst the water lilies
in te Pond.Let your heart leap up at a bounding Chital.Or look a leopard in
the eyes.But there's nothing to beat coming face to face with a Tiger.
Suddenly
the Forest is still with the Sounds of Silence.Except for the herd of
Barasingha, nothing moves. The Mahout's raised hand signals the start of the
Drama. And then,lo! Behold him in all his orange and black splendour! The
Tiger, King of Kanha, leaps out from the foliage and sets off in pusuit of a
barasingha. The Chase is on. The herd has scattered. The Tiger is after his
prey.And you are one of the priviliged few to watch the live drama.
