Article by Wim_meeting Mohit and Pankaj

I met Mohit and Pankaj during an early morning drive in Kanha N.P. I was waiting at the jeep on a place where an elephant came to pick me up. A tiger was seen. Mohit and Pankaj arrived a few minutes later. We started talking and during our conversation it seemed that we were staying in the same lodge. The Royal Tiger lodge in Mukki, nearby the entrance of the park. 20 minutes later the elephant arrived and we had to go. After a whole day in the park I returned to the lodge and in the evening we met again. At the campfire we talked about naturephotography, the wildlife and about life in India. I became jalous when they told me that they were travelling around for a few months. We exchanged stories and e-mail adresses. Of course we talked about the tiger we saw that morning and about the pictures we took.During the following evenings we had a few nice conversations at the campfire. After a few days I had to leave and I felt very sad because they could stay longer in this amazing national park.

I first met Mohit and Pankaj while waiting for my elephant ride to see a tiger that had been spotted

From that moment on we started mailing to eachother on a regular base and I follow their steps on www.wildlywise.com . I wish them both all the luck on their expedition around the national parks in India and I hope to meet them again on my next journey to this beautiful country.
