TIGER AT REST....BANDHAVGARH, MADHYAPRADESH...!!


After going dry for three or four safaris we did spot this Tiger taking rest right  in the middle of the road to beat the heat. In fact we had to reverse the jeep for quite a distance on this narrow stretch of road . She just did not budge from her position.
