The undisputed king of Khitauli ๐
In our recent Bandhavgarh tour, the first safari in Khitauli started out slow. The word was that DM, Ra, and the sub-adults had moved towards the Magadhi main road, leaving our zone quiet. We had shifted our focus to birdwatching and spotting other mammals, thinking our tiger luck had run out.
But the forest always has a surprise waiting, out of nowhere, our luck took a massive turn. D1โthe undefeated king himself gave our group an exclusive show, lounging calmly in a canal just a few meters from our jeep. Between those killer stares and his deep, echoing roars, it completely turned the game around. What an unforgettable moment it was!
