The Eurasian Eagle Owl
Daroji Sloth Bear Sanctuary | Hampi | 12-09-11
This would probably be one of the most beautiful sightings I ever had and would have dreamed of!!
Though it’s almost 4 months for me in Hampi I still feel there’s lot more to explore and photograph. This was likely one of them. Suffering from Typhoid for the past [...]

Matanga Hills | Hampi
A pleasant morning with a hot cup of tea served at 6.30am was enough to give a kick from being lethargic!! ‘Haawhh…Let’s Go!! I exclaimed positively.
Today was the day for birding at the Matanga hills (As per our discussion last night which I completely forgot this morning, as usual).This hill is generally [...]
Gala Meal
Sloth bear resort | Hampi | 11-06-11
It’s been 2 days that I landed into this new destination of mine and I didn’t expect much to happen in terms of wildlife.

I took my camera and was birding in the campus as all of a sudden I saw some movements into the bush. Rat snake…I whispered!! [...]
Be Responsible
Wild dogs | BR hills main road
It’s sad to see a picture (published above) where a young wild dog started picking up litter like this…Plastic?? Oh man!! What’s wrong with all of us!! Why can’t we be lil responsible when we visit national parks and sanctuaries?
This reminds me of the situation in Bandipur highway. The [...]
A rare catch
Indian Cuckoo | K.Gudi wilderness camp
05-05-11
It’s been a really long time that I wanted to have at least one record picture of this beautiful bird on my camera. Over the past 2 years every March-April-May-June it has enchanted us with its call. Some say it resembles ‘One more bottle’ whereas some say ‘Cross word puzzle’
Every [...]

Wild dogs | K.Gudi | BR hills

I have been following this pack ever since I came to K.Gudi in 2009. And it’s such a beautiful sight to see them multiplying in leaps and bounds. Now they are 16 in number with 4 sub adults in it. This pack of wild dogs went missing this entire [...]

A prolific tigress who has lured many wildlife lovers for the past 6 years for her bold attitude, her elegant walk on the safari tracks, her enchanting eyes that can amaze everyone; this is one tigress the admirers of Bandipur look forward to sight. She is named Gauri. She now has a litter of 4. [...]
An Hour through the Eyepiece
K.Gudi
07’03’2011
Today I was unwilling to go for afternoon safari as we have started playing volley ball in the camp. We have made two teams between our staff and there is a healthy competition between each of them. There’s always a zest to play as the clock ticks 4 pm. Its good fun and joyful moment [...]

In search of Love
Though it seems not so long that on 30th December 2010 I saw a male leopard marking its territory on the main road, hardly 8-10 kms from the camp. This hunk is the prince of K.Gudi. He moves all around his territory and one of his most favourite places is our camp. The alarm calls [...]

Leopard on rains

One afternoon with wild dogs
K.Gudi | BR hills
4-11-10
I was in my office writing the cheque for salary of this month. “Good morning sir” Narayan said. “Good morning Narayan” I reciprocated. “On the way back from BR hills I saw a pack of wild dog” he stated. This was all enough for me to backpack my gear and move towards [...]
View from the concrete machan
It seems not so long for me that I joined K.Gudi wilderness camp. I have already finished more than a year now. Being the manager of this camp, I conferred a room in the Maharaja bungalow on the first floor. The balcony of my room faces a Gulmohar tree. Its innumerous arms embrace this bungalow [...]
The Royal Tiger cubs of K.Gudi

It seems not so long that I have seen these four tiger cubs with their mother. It all started from March 2010 when we first sighted them in Annikere and since then it has shown of to us its majesty. We, the K.Gudi staff have seen them growing cm by cm.
Irregular, but quite very often [...]

Astounding K.Gudi-Hidden treasures
Sometimes you may never know what you can encounter in your way to/from K.Gudi. That’s why whenever I go out from the resort I have my camera with me. This place has always given me the chance to come across some of the most beautiful animals. So I always suggest people who visit K.Gudi to [...]

We sighted a group of elephants with two babies and three females. They were enjoying & eating the lush green grass which has come up after a few showers that [...]

A mesmerizing sound of the trees, a sky covered with clouds and a soothing breeze touching your face as if giving a tender welcome to the forest. This is the feeling one gets while reaching the safari gate in K.Gudi from the resort.
