Most Of India is Scorching with temperatures ranging  well over 40 degrees Centigrade ( 104 degrees Fahrenheit).

Am treating myself and all the readers to the Cool and Wonderful Splendour of the Himalayas while  The Indian Sub Contintent sizzles in preparation for the arrival of The Monsoons. ( translated for the uninitiated it means Bushels of Rains or the Rainy Season)

Presenting a Bouquet of the Splendour of Sun and Shadow in the Himalalyas.

Water is Life and in the Desert State of Rajasthan the Value of Water is enhanced by the Power of Infinity.

Thus the Beauty and Importance of a Lotus Lake in the midst of the Parched Brown Aravalli Mountain Range in Bundi, Rajasthan is a Sight to behold.

If you look hard you will see Spots of Orange at the base of the Brown Hills on the far Right of the picture below.

These are the Flame of the Forest Trees in bloom ( do check out a previous blog by the same title) . Palash ( Hindi) or Butea monosperma( Scientific Name) .

The Chambal River weaves through Volcanic Rocks of the Vindyachal and the Sedimented SandStones of the Aravalli Mountain Ranges creating a Unique landscape we could call  THE GREAT CANYONS OF INDIA.

Gorge 1 Drop Dead 

The Rocky Terrain and Dense Forests ,irrigated by the perennial Chambal River, was once home to Fierce Dacoits and few would venture into this Enchanting Region.

The sharp drop of the Rocky Cliffs is however a Nesting Haven for the critically Endangered Indian Vulture.

Looking down into the seemingly Bottomless Gorges left my Head Spinning or was I the victim of being Spellbound ?

The previous Blog “The Enchanting Cursed River” was an introduction to an absolutely fascinating and Unique River Basin  in the Midst Of India.

The area is home to numerous endemic and unique species of Flora and Fauna which abounds on the Rocky Crags which tower majestically over a Vast River.

Some of which I was fortunate to see and will share with you as the days go by.

The charm of seeing Birds in their Natural Habitat whereby they have selected a location to Roost is magically Enchanting .

Spotting these Majestic Storks alongside a Cursed but Pristine River in the Heart of India was thus a splendid Stroke of Luck.

The Bishop Stork or Woolly-Necked Storks ( English),  Shwetakanth mahabak  ( Sanskrit), Ciconia episcopus ( scientific Name) are Storks endemic ( native) to the Indian Sub-Continent.

Can you spot them on the Tree
