Life In and Out of the Crater

Garrett and Grant admiring the work of Mr. Macho, a local artisan painting in the Tinga Tinga style.  We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this shop.

Earlier in the day, while we were down in the crater, we came across a pride of sleepy "teenager" lions.  It looks like we ran over this one, but it actually plopped down in the shade underneath our jeep.  It was only a couple of meters away from us!

Another sleepy lion near the jeep.  Grant and Garrett don't seem to mind.

We didn't think we would see hyenas on the trip since they tend to hide and relax during the day and hunt and scavenge during the night.  But the crater was jam-packed with hyenas.  Here is an adult hyena checking on a baby.  We also saw a hyena running alongside our jeep and another gnawing on a long backbone of some sort.

  1. For relaxing and unwinding holidays, opt for a hotel that offers exciting Safari Packages in India. And while one accelerate towards Uttarakhand, Aalia resorts in Rishikesh welcomes all the adventure-lovers to have fun at this place.
