Kabini! An ancient land moulded by modernity but also strangely left untouched by it. A land of myths, legends, history and pristine wilderness. A place where sages were born, and mythical characters sought and found refuge. In these jungles, life beats to the rhythms of nature, which unfolds her secrets one page at a time. The secret to success in this venerable realm is the ability to wait and watch.

In this Blog on Kabini, we take you on a long and leisurely journey through this ancient land, which has been witness to mainstream and tribal synergy with a dash of colonial legacy thrown in for good measure.  As fellow travelers we invite you to share your own experiences of this journey of discovery.
