AN ATTEMPT INSIDE THE WILD
One of my dreams was to see a black panther. I visited some wilds but I didn’t get a chance. Still I am waiting for that moment, when I will see the ghost of the wild. Once I was very close to see that scariest animal but by luck that escaped. But that moment was really very unique. So I would like to share one of my experiences. It was an unforgettable moment for me. I visited Nagarhole National Park. This is located in kodagu district of karnataka. There is a rich population of animals and birds but it is famous for black panther. I went for Black Panther only but I got some other animals.

The Black Panther is still a mystery, but the journey teaches us important lessons. Nature teaches us to be strong by showing us that setbacks are just parts of life’s bigger orchestra.
