When we loss in Forest

             That was my first camp in forest. In Sharavati forest ( back water of river sharavati). That was nd day of camp . For collecting foot prints of animals we did go to Sase chouk . There was 3 groups going to different 3 ways . That place was deeped forest place . 2 groups had guide but we did not have . Listenig birds we did go in forest and that time was 6 pm . Other  groups was busy in collecting foot prints .

              To return to our bus we turned right side ane walk a far distancs. That time was 6.45 and  starting to dark . May be 2 km. distance covered but we could not found our bus . Elder members of our group said that

" We loss ."

" We should turn left when we turn right."

                I frightened. That was my first camp so I did not have any experience about that and for 2 min. I thought ' I never come (?) to the forest for comping .

                We return and change our path. Some fearful voices ....................... just like nightjars and Barking dears ....and fearful voice of Bamboo ( when air goes through bamboo it makes voice like shhhooooooo....chirrrrrr) .

                 After some time we sow  eyes behind tree we afraid. We stoped........ they went away after some time . We dont know who saw us .............. but that night was too fearfull.
                                                                                                                                                                          

                 At last we found forest ranger's car and god bless us . They told us       
" the bus stands after one turn back "  

                 That time was 8:30 pm. Other groups waiting for us and we got the bus .

                 But that experiance is one of the memorial of my life and i can't forgot it .

              Because of its name you may thin what is it ? It is a name of forest.The owrd 'Nath' means a lord or a master of Nath sect. Last year we had gone for our camp in that place . It is sacred place but just awesom . Elephant is most attraction of this place. As well as  Langoors and Sloth bear nd many of the animals. For birders it is  blessing place also for reptils.
             'Akash bhairav'  'Patal bhairav'  ' Machhinnath' and rock hill are beautiful spots of this forest. 3 rd day at 'Machhinath' when we going back to our camp site timing was evening twilight some black spots seen at bottom of the hill. Vithumama ( Vatadya { guide} ) says

                We sow them . It was a family ane female and mail and their calf . Calf was too beautiful and Gondas ! At our road my friend founded spins of Porcupine.

Going to camp in forest ?

                                                               
               Are you going to make your camp in forest ? Just remember that you are taking camp in forest. It is not a simple thing. Forest is very amezing place but some time you should face to any dangerous calavities. If you are not proper edjucated about that forest you must face some problems and that problems make you live or die. There are some rules of forest and wild life. If you does not obeay that you will face problems. So dont forget them.

                1) First thing that you are not in your city . So behave like watcher and student.
                2) If you are in group....dont miss your group thai is walk with them.
                3) If you are going to watching animals....must avoid perfumes and deo. Becouse animal has sense of smell more than any other living organisms
                4) Avoid that playing songs in loud or shouting if you do it some angry animals can hurt you
                5) Please put earth on your latrin. ( It is imp.)
                6) Remember that forest is not your dustbeen.

                 Best of luck for youe camp.

It is not dark forest but it is very good for Bird watching. In 2007 we did camp in Bhadravati wild life scentury ( karnataka ) . It was just awesom . It is best for bird watching as well as botany section and also special for elephant.In 2008 we gone to camp in Phanasad ( Alibag - Maharashtra ).It is too good for animal watching .
