The Tipai Leopard, Tipeshwar Wildlife Sanctuary

The elusive leopard, a ghost of the forests, is often hailed as its most elegant dweller. The area around the Tipai Mata temple in Tipeshwar is a compact patch of dense forest cover with a number of old and mature trees and is prime habitat for leopards. It was about 7am on the morning of 8th June when we got word of this leopard lazing in a tree just below the mandir

In search of the reclusive Teer/ Arrowhead, Tipeshwar Wildlife Sanctuary

Each time you enter the jungles of central India, dating back millions of years, you are in the realm of some of the most varied wildlife in India. From bears to boars, monkeys to mongoose, from the forest floor to the tree tops, from the smallest species to the largest, this is Kipling’s Jungle Book made of flesh and blood and home to arguably the earth’s most beautiful killer - the Bengal Tiger

This time we were out searching for the reclusive Teer/ Arrowhead - named by Ajinder Singh for the distinct arrow or “teer” on his forehead. Teer was born in February 2023 from the 5th litter of the Legendary Talabwali Tigress with Zanjeer. He was one of three cubs.

Our patience and perseverance paid off when, finally, word came, from far away Mangisawargaon, almost at the western fringe of the forest. Teer had been seen, just barely, and was said to be on a cattle kill! The kill itself was not visible - hidden, in line with his reclusive nature and behaviour.

Kuregad - A Tale of Water

Hidden in the deep recesses of the Kawal Tiger Reserve are a number of Gond villages having a close relationship with nature and its management. Closely linked with each individual of the Gond clan is a lineage of Pardhans, bards and chroniclers, who play a vital role in the worship of the clan deity and many other ritual activities. Today is about one such village which depended on their solitary well for water but when the water started to make them sick, they left to settle at a different location.

Life in the forest isn’t always a bed of roses.
