First Look

On our way to the jungle home, we stopped at this place that I can only describe as heavenly! Nestled atop a hill, the place is absolutely ethereal in its beauty! A small temple adorns the top of the hill, its gate looking almost like a passage to eternity! When we reached the place, there was a slight drizzle, coupled with a powerful and noisy wind. The wind almost drowned out our voices, while the air, thick and heavy with mist, made it almost impossible to see beyond a few yards! However, whenever the mist did clear for a few seconds at a time, the view that unfolded before our eyes was breathtaking, each time it happened! The slight drizzle soon turned into a lashing, cold rain! The even further drop in temperature just made the whole experience even more treasured! We were there for almost two hours, with no one wanting to leave such a place of pristine beauty!
P.S. Coming up next: Leech bites, a night safari, dysfunctional headlights, a tree house, lush, green fields, and the icing on the cake, an enraged elephant!
