Walks in the Wild chronicles his experiences while roaming the jungles and wildlife sanctuaries of India-from Dudhwa and Corbett National parks in the north to Anamalia in the south, from Ranthambhor and Gir in the west and Kanha in central India to Karbi Anglong and Kaziranga in the North East.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDas Gupta’s narrative gives the reader a glimpse of wild India-the sparkling streams and rugged mountains, the seemingly impenetrable forests, the thrill of tracking game on foot and on elephant-back, the narrow escapes, the sheer delight of spotting the rarest species of birds. He also shares with his reader the absolute unpredictability that is wildlife photography, and his memorable encounters with the forest staff who befriended and guided him in his forays. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith startling accounts of sighting tigers, being chased by wild dogs, chancing upon pythons, spotting leopards and identifying the calls of the wild,  Walks in the Wild is for a all those who love the outdoors, or want a glimpse into the heart of the Indian jungles.\u003cbr\u003e… the forest eventually becomes a part of you, and perhaps, in some infinitesimal way, you become a part of the forest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInitiation\u003cbr\u003eFirst Steps\u003cbr\u003eGetting on\u003cbr\u003eInto the Interior\u003cbr\u003eSimlipal Interlude\u003cbr\u003eA Surfeit of Tigers\u003cbr\u003eOf Pintails, Coots and all That\u003cbr\u003eEastward Ho!\u003cbr\u003eTowards the Rising Sun\u003cbr\u003eAbode of the Clouds\u003cbr\u003eAround and About\u003cbr\u003eAround the Terai and Bhabar\u003cbr\u003eWandering Westwards\u003cbr\u003eDown South\u003cbr\u003eSumming Up \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEpilogue\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGlossary\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Prosenjit Das Gupta \/ Penguin \/ Paperback","offer_id":68153703399792,"sku":"7300","price":26.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/5203\/9792\/files\/7300.jpg?v=1793912886","url":"https:\/\/marketcalvexa.shop\/products\/walks-in-the-wild","provider":"Alderstone House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
