Rolling out of Navi Mumbai, we climbed the wild Bhor Ghat on NH-48—traffic, cliffs, tunnels, Lonavla, Khandala, the whole Western Ghats drama. Pune flashed by in full modern-metro mode before we climbed again through the winding Kashedi Ghat toward the Deccan Plateau. Reached Kolhapur, parked Shehzadi at The Fern.

Indian Towns with a European Vibe: Explore Charm, Luxury, and Culture in 2026–2027

These towns are perfect for travelers seeking luxury India tours, offbeat experiences, and scenic escapes.

What you see is an organ formed by the merging of elongated nose and upper lip. The trunk has approx 40,000 muscles.

He was patiently waiting for his mate to come out of the bush. And she took her sweet time to appear. There was a mild argument them perhaps as they exchanged a soft roar.

"While crop seed vaults are common around the world, nurseries for wild and native plants are rare, and many plant species quietly become extinct. This marks #Gurukula out as a Noah’s ark for endangered plant species."

This infant with barely any hair on its head glazing curiously at the sub-adult who was springing between the ground and the branch. With her moist eyes filled and reclining on the lap of its mother, who is busy in grooming herself, this infant perhaps already knew one day she will be jumping like her friend. #liontailedmacaque #primates #monkeys #nature #wildlife #rainforest #endangeredspecies #WesternGhats

Endemic to the Western Ghats, this female Malabar Parakeet was flying and screeching along with 3 others in the flock. Finally they sat on a tree before flying off again to another one with flowers. You if happen to notice this bird with a red beak, then that guy is a male. #malabarparakeet #birds #birdwatching #endemicbirds #wildlife #photography #nature #indianbirds #WesternGhats

Lion-tailed macaque feeding on the exotic species, the seed of an African Tulip, primarily due to less availability of native trees around them.

#Tropical #Rainforest #trees: to even be in the presence of such giants is a privilege and deeply inspiring. Also sobering as world over it's great trees like these that are increasingly dying away.

Tiger in Town by Robin Darius Conz (Germany)
This image focuses on a tiger on an Indian hillside against the backdrop of a town where forests once grew. The protected areas in the Western Ghats, where tigers are carefully monitored, are some of the most biodiverse landscapes in India and have a stable population of tigers.
