Are you an adventurous soul longing to witness the untamed beauty of wildlife in its own backyard?
Look no further than Tipeshwar, one of the perfect destinations to encounter the wild in all its glory.
Day 1:
I embarked on an early morning journey from Hyderabad, with the wind on our face and the sun gently rising to create a perfect day for a motorcycle ride. My initial plan was to explore the magnificent Nizamabad fort, but it was undergoing renovation and had to be added back to our Wishlist. Nevertheless, I reached Nirmal for lunch and serendipitously met fellow travelers who were also venturing down the same road.
Taking a detour and opting for the longer route via Kadam Dam, I made a stop to relish some fresh fish fry and delectable food. With satisfied appetites, we continued our journey towards Tipeshwar, savoring the tranquil roads with minimal traffic. Finally, as evening descended, I arrived at Tipai Resort, where the locals warmly welcomed us with their love for the jungle and captivating tales that adorned their lives.
Day 2:
The highlight of Tipeshwar lies in its captivating jungle safaris. Two safaris are available, one in the morning starting at 6 am, and another in the afternoon, commencing at 2 pm. To truly experience the wonders of the jungle, I woke up early, equipped with all the necessary gear to capture the essence of wildlife encounters. I headed towards Mathani Gate, eager for an adventure of a lifetime. And oh boy, it surely was! We traversed the wild roads, encountering mesmerizing wildlife moments. Topping the list was the majestic Queen of the Jungle, accompanied by her adorable cubs. Yet, words fail to convey the true essence of this experience, which can only be savoured when one is present in the moment.
After the exhilarating morning safari, we returned to Tipai Resort to freshen up, indulging in some delicious food and allowing ourselves a well-deserved rest. Soon, we embarked on another afternoon adventure that proved to be truly awe-inspiring. Driving through open jungle roads in an open jeep, accompanied by great company, and witnessing the sun's descent-what a breath-taking sight!
Back at the hotel, I formed cherished bonds with some remarkable individuals. A father and son duo who relished exploring together, a group of wildlife enthusiasts brimming with captivating stories about tigers in India, and the charismatic Mr. Yogesh, whose tales about Tipeshwar and its wildlife knew no bounds.
Day 3:
Day 3 brought even more adventure as our we become amateur expertise guide to spots where we could catch glimpses of the majestic tigers once again. Alongside these awe-inspiring creatures, we encountered other fascinating wildlife such as sloth bears, Neel Gaia, and spotted deer, etching unforgettable memories in our hearts.
Day 4:
On day 4, I bid farewell to the mighty jungle and embarked on our journey back home. This time, we took the direct route, enjoying a smooth highway ride on silky roads throughout the way.
In summary, this was an unparalleled jungle adventure that offered incredible experiences with amazing people, delectable food, and a breath-taking location. The memories made during this trip will be cherished for a lifetime, and I am already looking forward to returning in winter to witness the lush green transformation of the jungle.
