Banni Grassland Kutch

Day 3

7^th March 2013.

We left early morning after a refreshing cup of chai. Jugal was to be our guide and mentor for the half-day birding in the “Banni Grasslands”. We reached the Great Plains just as the sun was making its presence felt at the horizon. Jugal was extremely knowledgeable on the birding front. His enthusiasm demonstrated his love for the environment. The local tribals hold him in high esteem due to his fluency in their language and his efforts to promote environmental cleanliness. I would absolutely recommend birders make it to Jugal’s homestay once in their lifetime to roam the great wastelands of this area. Please note this area is not accessible during the monsoon period; also the summer months would be HARSH with the blazing sun overhead. I would recommend that you drop Mr.Tewari an email requesting his advice on the feasibility of visiting this area.

Welcome to my world of photography.
