Thanks
Thermodynamics for the good words and thanks for the corrections as well. Yes, that is indeed Red Wattled Lapwing and not a Stilt. Also, the second one is a Greater Adjutant Stork as told to me by BHPian
turboNath. I will report the post to make the necessary corrections. Glad that you liked the log,

We were targeting to book one of those river bank stays. I saw tyre marks in the Jungle trail safari, did you guys walk on foot or are cars allowed? |
It was initially the Himalayas only but later on, the plan got altered. Thanks
haisaikat for the good words. It would have been wonderful had I bumped into you again after Puri.
Regarding your query, the jungle trail will have to be covered on foot as because that’s an island. The tyre marks that you noticed are of a solitary country made vehicle which carried bricks and cement bags to the construction site at the end of the trail. Three watch towers are being constructed and hence the material.
I am sure you will land at this wonderful place sooner then later. Will be waiting to hear your experience,
Regards.

Thanks
DriveTrain, the forest trail in indeed wonderful and I am sure you will enjoy the place. Aranya Nivas is indeed a nice addition to Dangamal.

No log is complete without your addition of pictures
Samba. Thanks for your pictures, superlative as they are, it’s indeed satisfying to watch the big crocs in action.
We tried for Ekakula too but the boat services were restricted due to Covid. Thanks for the good words again,
Regards.

I remember seeing a particular one with three limbs. Did you get a chance to spot it? Thanks for sharing your journey with us ! Rated it a well deserved 5 stars ![Clapping](https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/images/smilies/Clapping.gif) |
You have an amazing quality to describe some mundane things to extraordinary lengths. Thanks for the good words
turboNath, appreciate you taking time to go through and correct me as well.
I didn’t get to see any three limbed croc though, may be it is waiting for you to visit again !

Appreciate the good words
Mile_Breaker, I am sure you all will love Bhitarkanika. Regarding your query, yes, you can book the guide and boat there in Dangamal as well as Khola. You can book the entire boat for yourself and there is no minimum requirement as such. Rates are fixed and you can find the rates at both the places. Hope that helps,
Regards.
