7th September, 2019 is International Vulture Awareness Day. Have a look at the You Tube films we have made on the Indian vultures.
This vulture day is special for me and my friend Geeta. We discovered a natural nesting site of Himalayan Griffon Vultures in Lunta Valley.
The sightings were confirmed to be those of Griffon Vultures by none other than Chris Bowden who heads "SAVE"(Saving Asia's Vultures
from Extinction)
On a four day visit to Dharamshala in August, 2019, a trek to Nagooni falls rate as my best experience in Dharamshala.The Lunta
Valley trek to Nagooni falls starts from the small hydroelectric project at Kharota in Khaniara,9 km from Dharamshala, Himachal Pradesh.The route is taken by goats, mules, cows and shepherds.Goat farming is the main source of income for marginal and landless
farmersLunta is home to one of the largest slate mines in the country. Slate roofs are commonly found in houses in H.PHimalayan butterflies greeted us on the way.The Himalayan Griffon Vultures were flying about and the discovery
of their nest site was a thrilling experience.

Nature lovers feel connected wherever they go! I experienced this lately when I visited my cousin who lives in far away San Diego. The cabbage butterfly I saw in the botanical garden of San Diego reminded me of Dr.Surya Prakash from whom I had learnt that
the Indian cabbage butterfly migrates by flying 300 to 400 miles a year. It is one of the three in India which migrate long distances. Want to learn more fascinating facts about butterflies from Dr. Surya Prakash? See the short film in our you tube channel

The sparrow happlily mud bathing on the ground of an open restaurant reminded me of the sparrows mud bathing back home. It also made me appreciate the fact that the restaurant owners who had grown local flowers all around, had made the ground inviting for
birds with leaf moulds and mulches.
On a cruise in the Soth Pacific Bay, the tour guide kept calling attention to the naval might of the USA and the ships and drones which had occupied the shores of the Bay. On one side a large group of Cormorants were busy fishing, reminding us how nature,
especially birds, can adapt anywhere. The sea lions displaced were huddled up on bait barges (because of which the cruise was called "Sea lion Cruise"). Having seen the interaction between a mum and pup sealions on the Pacific coast near the Torrey Pines
Reserve, the bait barges seemed like a zoo. Again, the foresightedness to put these barges for sea lions lazy enough not to go to other available shores? was worth appreciating.
Want to feel some of these emotions I went through? Watch the short film at
