Inspiring walk By Tom Quinn an Australian Mount Abu

Tom Quinn makes a record in Mount Abu

Congratulations Tom you are the Man. 

Tom Quinn has done Mount Abu proud by being the first "BLIND" man to walk one of the toughest trails of Mount Abu. We from Mount Abu salute your resolution and feel thrilled that you have been the first blind man to accomplish this jungle trail, from GuruShikar to Vastan a distance of 26 odd kilometers.  

Charles guide is one of our best guides from the Abode of the Gods accompanied Tom his wife, his sister-in-law and her daughter. They stayed overnight in a remote village in Sher Goan. The next day they completed the trek at Vastan.

Tom was honoured by our D.F.O Hemendra Singh, deputy forest conservator, and ranger Bharat Singh.

My search for the Red Avadavat (Lal Munia) Mt.Abu

Today went for a hike beyond the school dam in search of the LAL MUNIA. Did not see the little blighters also my trip to Trevor's tank drew a blank; I was surprised at the quietness and the abandoned heart of the sanctuary. It seemed like the place was totally deserted, just a few jungle crows a solitary white breasted kingfisher at the water front. Even the crocodiles were not visible; I know they do estivate during the summer months, but do they hibernate? Well I’ll have to look it up.

Met ‘Charlie’ a well-known guide of Abu, with a small group of foreign tourists at the tank, he seemed to have them enthralled with the history of the place. If anyone wants an honest, down to earth guide while visiting Abu you may contact him on his mob 9414154854. He has a small web site check it out Mount Abu treks .

Now that I know that the Red Avadavat, has made its way to this abode after years, I’ll not rest till I have this beautiful bird grace the pages of my blog, tell then folks keep reading, will keep all updated on events here in Abu.

Will add a few snaps I took today tomorrow.
