2024: Refinement
By 2024, I wasn’t chasing much.
Trips to Nagarahole, Thattekadu, Kabini, Tadoba, Kanha felt more deliberate. I knew what excited me — and what didn’t.
Thattekadu delivered long-awaited frogmouths
Nagarahole revealed space, grasslands, and subtle predator behaviour
Kanha brought Barasingha, mist, and Junior Bajrang walking straight toward us
Even when luck wasn’t generous, the forests felt familiar — almost conversational.
A family trip to New Zealand closed the year differently. Whales, dolphins, albatrosses — a reminder that wildlife exists far beyond forests, and wonder wears many forms.
