Pictures from a natural history oriented trip to meteor impact crater lake at Lonar (with a brief morning at Ellora Caves enroute to Lonar) and the Nagzira-Navegaon Tiger Reserve (NNTR) in Maharashtra, this November. Highlights at NNTR included a very private sighting of a (mating) pair of tigers, Indian Rock Python, Malabar Tree Shrew, Mottled Wood Owl, Indian Scops Owl, a Crested Hawk Eagle feeding on a Sambar carcass, good forest birdlife, and beautiful, relatively quiet (fewer tourists) mixed deciduous forests - with large parts seemingly, atypically, previously unexploited for timber. The overnight visit to Lonar, was somehow underwhelming, despite its unique geological history - but there were still interesting sights to be enjoyed such as the scenic birds eye view of the lake from the rim, waders around the alkaline edges of the lake, Leopard spoor and scat and various temples, both in ruins and otherwise, with mythological links to the landscape. It is always a pleasure visiting locations where tourist footfalls are minimal and both these locations were charmingly bereft (at least on weekdays) of large numbers of visitors, making for a more 'organic' travel experience.
