I guess I went through a writers block the last month or so. I thought I'd mention this before I disappear this weekend.

I'm heading out on a 3 week vacation to Namdapha tiger reserve in Arunachal Pradesh. Namdapha has been my dream for many years and after months of planning, the trip is finally happening. Namdapha is the only place in the world which supports 4 big cat species - Tiger, Leopard, Snow Leopard and the Clouded Leopard. Also on the trip are some of the amazing scientists from NCF.

The plan is to start from Miao and trek the next 12 days to a small village named Gandhigram. Gandigram is called the 'last village in India' and is cut-off from rest of the world with thick forests all around. Neither India nor Burma claim this town and hence the tribals in this village are left by themselves. Most of them hunt wild animals and have been hunting extensively in this National park.

The one way trek is about 120 KM long and mostly I'll have to walk all the way back, which will make the whole thing a 240 KM walk. If time permits, we might swing by Kaziranga on the way back. Will keep a detailed log of the trip and hopefully will post it all as soon as I get back.

In other news, I finally managed to update my photo gallery and put some new photographs up.
