So glad to be in Kumily for
my last week in India. Back
on my feet again after the
pachyderm back side story.
The Tiger reserve here is also
home to herds of elephants who
come from the jungle to use this
mighty water body for drinking,
bathing and having a lot of fun.
I've seen them once that was
on a glorious day bamboo rafting
and trekking here.
The man made reservoir was
formed by building a dam and
flooding a network of valleys
back in 1890.
The forest department operates
a boat service for tourists but
chances of seeing any animals is
slim until the dry season comes
as there are plenty of water
holes deep in the forest. Even
so,the scenery is stunning and a
mornings boating is always pleasant.
