Banglore to Sakrebyle elephant camp – https://goo.gl/maps/RX88LDPB1oTWUgJJA
We were hunched over next to the kitchen building, unmindful of the water dripping over our heads from a water tank which had just overflown, peering in amazement at the gigantic reddish growth in the ground. Was it a flower? A fruit? A vegetable, perhaps? It looked not unlike a cabbage.
My earliest memories of elephants are thankfully not in zoos, but in the forests of Nagarahole. During a childhood trip to this beautiful national park with my extended family, I remember our open jeep coming face-to-face with a herd of wild elephants. Engine turned off, we sat still with bated breaths as the herd too stood frozen in their tracks, sizing us up. A few heart-stopping minutes later, the elephants crossed the jungle path and quietly vanished into the thicket. My fascination grew over the years and the few interactions since then have only deepened my regard for them.
