With covid lockdowns everywhere for over a year and the March 2020 trip put off , finally got an opportunity after a year in March 2021 to head to the North East in the quest for the winged beauties. My main goal was to hope to find the endangered hornbills and few more rare ones around there. Here are some and more pictures here

  I have become my own version of an optimist. If I can't make it through one door, I'll go through another door - or I'll make a door. Something terrific will come no matter how dark the present. Rabindranath Tagore

“And into the forest I go, to loose my mind and find my soul”                                                                             – Charles Baudelaire As the new year was approaching I wanted to head out of the city for some tranquil time and what better way to drive out into the forests and see some winged beauties. It was a long solo drive :Bangalore-Dandeli-Goa-Shimoga-Bangalore . With good music I hit the highway.. Here are some pictures from one more road trip.
