Was in Delhi for an official visit, with flights back to Bangalore on a Friday evening being a problem.
That was the only push I'd need, quickly called Devendra (Iora guest house) at Bharatpur and booked myself for the weekend.
Reached Bharatpur on a cold night, with some office calls to finish.
Thanks to Prema and Madhu sir, I was able to book the cycle rickshaw in advance.
Lalaramji was bang on time, 6:15am, with low lying mist and the famed north Indian winter welcoming us into the keoladeo bird sanctuary (named after the temple)
Light was bad for most of the day, most of the migrants had started their journey back. However, the common ones and the small window of decent light made up for it.
Here's a video slideshow of the top images from the trip (including a whirlwind visit to Chambal, for the gharials and skimmer)
Watch on full screen, please
Some lovely landscapes too!
Thankful to Devendra for arranging everything at such short notice!
Adios till the next blog :)
Cheers!
