Leopard in Bandipur Tiger Reserve, Karnataka, India.

On an early morning drive in Bandipur we spotted this incredible leopard. She was almost posing for us in the morning sun.
I totally fell in love with this beautiful animal.
Botlappa Cave temple hike in Coorg.
Posted on May 22, 2019
From our homestay Silver Brook Estate we decided to do a short 4 kilometer hike up to Botlappa cave temple. Beautiful but hot walk up through the coffee plantations and the jungle. A narrow winding road for what we thought bikers but no no no……it was for jeeps, cars and rickshaws. Amazing to get a close look at how people live around here. We met kids walking home from school and women who had been grocery shopping. We also met the greenest snake ever. Turned out it was not dangerous at all. So cool to be hiking in the tree tops in all the greenery.
Our little hike turned out to be longer and hotter than expected but it was totally worth every drop of sweat. Don’t miss the next post where I’ll show some picture of the temple itself.
Good shoes and socks are essential when hiking but also water ! See ya’ soon.
Scotland of India, Coorg.
Posted on May 8, 2019
My hubby had his birthday last week so I decided to surprise him with a weekend trip to Coorg, the place called Scotland of India. We both like to walk, hiking, breathe fresh air and see new things so off we went in our car. Well, we didn’t drive. Our driver Ganga drove. When we asked about how long the car ride would be to get there everyone said around 5 hours but it actually took more than 6 due to the insane traffic in Bangalore. Took us 2 hours just to get out of Bangalore !
Even though the ride up was a little rough at times it sure was worth it. Our jeep driver was really skilled. It wasn’t his first drive on the bumpy roads.
I’ll show more from Coorg but be prepared. We are using our legs on this trip. No rickshaw ride at all. Strap on your hiking boots and fill a bottle of water. We need to stay hydrated. Let me know when you are ready <:
Sweden, Skåne, Österlen, Forsemölla, Rörums backar.
Posted on July 10, 2017
Yesterday we headed east for Sträntemölla preserve, Forsemölla, Rörums backar, Österlen. This part of the world is truly beautiful.
I love the old stone fences
first part of the fall……
the second part is the highest
there’s something special about waterfalls…our niece said ” it’s like stepping into a Lord of the rings movie” and it truly was…mysterious and magical
we walked through beautiful old deciduous forest
and then all of a sudden we entered “Mandelmanns trädgårds” grounds
with open pasture, summer meadows and rolling “hills”
walked up to the top of a hill where we could see all the way to the sea…
Rörums backar, the hills of Rörum in panoramic view
truly worth a visit if you’re in my part of the world. perfect spot for a picnic.
Hugged by a langur….
Posted on May 7, 2017
Early this morning we paid a visit to one of our favourite places around here, the temple with all the langurs and today I asked my hubby to get some pictures of me with the langurs.
they are so gentle but you can feel their strength when they want something.it’s amazing feeling their fingers holding yours and looking into their eyes …..
I had handprints all over, front and back.
all of a sudden I got the biggest hug ever ….and he hang on for quite a while…
they are so fast and so cheeky ….
this old lady (the monkey to the left !) waited and waited and finally she got some banana.
Best morning ever !
