INCREDIBLE BERA

View The Leopards Lair Resort Bera Rajastahn in a larger map

My love for this place dates back to the early 1980’s, Mr. Devi Singh and I have been good friends and I have spent some wonderful times here, fishing, trekking, and roaming this cowboy country with it’s beautiful and matchless granite rocky hill formations.

When I tell people of this fascinating place and the wonderful animals one gets to see here, they retort “Mate you have been in the desert too long, you were probably  hallucinating “ Well they say a picture is worth a thousand words, Go ahead and enjoy my recent “HALLUCINATIONS”   

THESE PHOTOGRAPHS WERE TAKEN ON VALENTINE’S DAY AND ON THE FOLLOWING DAY

These crock pictures taken at the Jawai Dam.

While having a few refreshers after our evening safari, our host Kunoo kept us amused with some real down to earth experiences he’s had with some of his guests on safari’s one such episode goes like this.

“ Bappu, can I have a look through your binoculars at the crocodiles that you are viewing”

Sure see the one over there, the guest views through the binoculars and see one crock with its mouth open, excitedly he passes it to his companion and tells him  “Jo-Jo Aunu modhu kulhu chai” (Look,man look it has its mouth open), Na,bhai na aunu modu bandh chai. (no, man no its mouth is closed)Mane jovade (let me have a look) surprised he turns to the host and asks him, Bappu, remote control chai soo?? ( Sir do you have a remote control ) the host is blown flat off his feet, REMOTE CONTROL for what?? The reply he gets “to open and close the jaws of the crocks!!!!
