Splendours of Sikkim: Information & Acknowledgements

Splendours of Sikkim: Goodbye Sikkim!
http://sikkim-avi.blogspot.com/2011/05/goodbye-sikkim.html
BNHS Nature Camp to North Sikkim April 2011. As I exit this beautiful pristine state from Rangpo, I halt for taking photogrpahs and my driver Lobsang Dawa uses it as an opportunity to put up prayer flags on the bridge - colourful ones of red, green blue for wealth, marital bliss etc. Through the drive he continously runs me through the finer details of his life history - 3 wives and 7 children (wow), while I admire the beautiful sights.

Sunderbans - The Beautiful Forest. BNHS Nature Camp - January 19-22, 2010. Sunderbans boasts of over 200 species of birds.

Red-whiskered Bulbul and the White-bellied Sea Eagle. the latter were a common sight and hence this blog will have more photos of the majestic bird in different poses. With the amount of food avai.
