Jungle Escapades
Sri Lanka has numerous wildlife sanctuaries spread across the country which offer a rich variety of flora and fauna. Yala National Park is home to 32 species of mammals like leopards, tigers, sloth bears, deer and elephants. This is where tiger numbers are the highest, thus you have the best chance of spotting them. Wilpattu and Udawalawe National Parks have 125 species of birds and many reptiles like the mugger (crocodile) and this is where you’ll see them lazing on the banks. They are also a birdwatchers paradise and have over 125 species of birds: white bellied sea eagle, great cormorant, little cormorant, painted stork, Sri Lankan jungle fowl, tailorbird, white ramped shama, black hooded oriole, and red faced malkoha, among others.. You can see a rich aquatic biodiversity and hordes of lagoon fauna species at Bundala and Gal Oya parks, besides scores of butterflies and other insects.
Staying with the locals at their humble abode is an experience that is going to stay with you for the rest of your life. Such is the hospitality of the people of rural Rajasthan who believe in making the most out of whatever little they have. And at the end of the day, as the sun goes down in all its glory, the villages’ folklore will mesmerize you like you never could have imagined!

“I spent an entire evening at the Samode village singing and dancing with the locals in their colourful traditional attire. I even tried the Chari dance with a pot on my head. Yes, a definite must try for everyone!”
Rural Rajasthan
Bright, traditional, rustic yet soulful – that is rural Rajasthan for you! Considering the chaotic and busy lives we live, visiting the interiors of the state will make you realize how meditatively beautiful life is beyond the hustle bustle of the cities.
While the desert state is considered a perfect embodiment of richness and royalty, it also offers a much humble sight of a Persian wheel irrigating the lush fields in its rural areas. A group of traditionally dressed women, carrying clay pots on their heads, walking down the dust roads and turban-clad men with majestic mustaches sweating it out in the fields, is a common sight that you will see as you drive through the state. And they do it so effortlessly without any trace of discomfort that, it will not just inspire you but will make you appreciate the simplistic beauty of life.
