Bharatpur

Fourth day of our Indian adventure and it was time to head to more peaceful places . First we visited a bird sanctuary in Bharatpur, Keoladeo National Park. Oh what a feeling. Not much noise, fresh air and the sound of nature. All I needed! We stayed watching birds until late afternoon. What a wonderful place, a vast land surrounded by tortuous trees and wet land! We saw marvellous birds among other animals. We had the pleasure to feel nature going to sleep with a gorgeous sunset. Watching all the beauty I felt thankful to be witnessing all. Being amid the trees and the animals, immersed completely into nature brought me back the urge to be with it as long as I could. We are staying too far from our roots nowadays.
