Photo: Sunlit forest path - Bandipur National Park

Bandipur National Park in Karnataka, India is well known as one of the best tiger reserves in India. It is the abode of more than 150 tigers and many other animals like Leopard, Elephant, Gaur, Sambar, Spotted deer, Sloth bear, Mouse deer, Wild dog, Four horned Antelope etc.
Although the animals are the primary attraction, I found the beauty of the forest equally appealing.

This scene, where the tender rays of the morning sun lit up the forest, mesmerized me while we were following a trail of tiger pugmarks.
