My Child & I

2 out of 4 members of the family are watching TV and the other 2 are playing board game.

Secondborn (suddenly looks up to TV from his game, and exclaims) : "Why is Nila's dad dancing with some girl? And he thinks the beard will hide his real face?"

Well, the actor who is being dissected did play dad to a young girl Nila in a movie .
And has now been caught red-handed by our lil' guy while dancing in another movie, with newly grown facial hair and that too with a pretty lady- How dare he!?!

The south Indian sub continent is home to more than 500 species of mammals, 1225 different varieties of Birds, 1600 types of reptiles and amphibians and about 57,000 species of insects. India harbours about 60% of the World's Tiger population out of which around 25 percent is covered by south India and the rest by the whole of India.

South India has a picturesque landscape and is a photographer's and wildlife enthusiast’s paradise. Some of the amazing wildlife seen in the sanctuaries, parks and the forests are the protected leopards and the Tigers, antelopes , deer, bison and a large Elephant population. Numerous varieties of birds can be seen in these forests, prominent among them the Serpent Eagle, the Malabar Trogon and the pied hornbill.

We have tie-ups with prominent places of stay at the wildlife sanctuaries, and local arrangements for forest safaris. We would be taking our Motorcycle tourists to each destination, and then they can ride with the forest guards in their vehicles, or take guided treks, taking in the varied wildlife of each forest. "Tiger Luck" to all of them!

Given the number of wildlife sanctuaries, successive Wild South India Rides would offer very different experiences to people. Out first offering of this series of rides is as follows:

Total distance: 1200 kms

Places covered en-route:

Bannerghatta Wildlife Sanctuary, Bhadra Wildlife Sanctuary, Shettihalli wildlife sanctuary, Nagarhole National Park, Kabini Reservoir, Bandipur National Park, Mudumalai National Park, Mukurthi National Park, BhavaniSagar Dam, Sathyamangalam Tiger Reserve.
