The road from Darbandora to Sacorda is a very nice stretch and one of the
best routes we have walked on. It runs right next to the Bondla Wildlife
Sanctuary. While walking, we saw he back gate of the wild life park and were
tempted to explore. We walked in and tried to look sharp in the hope of sighting
some wildlife. About two kilometres deep inside, we were very happy to meet a
herd of Gaur. But the moment one of them stood still and stared at us, we realised
that we were trespassing on their property, were on foot and vulnerable if they
decided to take us to task. Fortunately they watched us for a moment, turned
and kept to their track and we hastily retreated.
Posted some pictures of the walk ( apologies to friends Pramod Sawant and
Shankar Naik, who had expressed interest to join us. Could not inform them in time )
( for whatever it is worth) through my blog.
The video and pictures of Giant squirrel and Me are courtesy my friend Triambak. In
my excitement on seeing the animals, I forgot to click on the 'video on' button!

My friends Rajaneesh and Praveen are just two spots, way ahead, followed by Rajesh, Viren and Triambak. I am slogging slowly behind.
