From the jungles of central India, I travelled to the tropical forests of southern India in Nov. The landscape and topography changes from the dusty brown tones to lush green thick woodlands as can be seen in this image (compared to Tipeshwar which I posted previously) I was blessed with a lovely sighting of this Tigress. This was in Nagarhole tiger reserve (which is on the banks of Kabini river). It has limited 4X4 vehicles going in and has to be booked online well in advance. Kabini is renowned for leopard sightings and not so much for Tigers. I was not expecting much in this trip (did 4 safaris) so travelled with 1DX II and 100-400 L IS II USM.
Here is a female relaxing next to the vehicle path.
