Bamboo Pit Viper

Trimeresurus Gramineus - Bamboo Pit Viper


Found this beauty while on a trek to Doddi Betta, a rocky incline with a wind battered watchtower on top. He was coiled up beneath the stairs of the watchtower, lazily digesting a recent meal..

Elephant herd - Masinagudi



Saw this herd on the 6th of July, 2008 at around 5 PM on the Mudumalai checkpost - Masinagudi road. Could count around 16 Elephants in this herd which had 4 very young calves and 2 young juves ... Was a pleasure to watch the elephants as they went about foraging for tidbits in the lush green grass..
