A walk in the jungle Imagine going for a walk in a wild jungle where a tiger or a leopard could well be lurking a few feet away from you. Led by an able guide Kalu, I spent three hours in what was certainly a new experience. Highlights: * Was lucky to sight three Great Hornbills – an enormous bird distinguished by a yellow line through its wings and a white tail marked with one black band – but they were flying around too fast to capture on camera. And you can hear these birds before you see them – the heavy flapping sound carries through the air and, before you know it, the bird swooshes by you at supersonic speeds. * Heard cries of deer and mon monkeys indicating the presence of a tiger nearby – but was out of luck when it came to sighting the cat.
