Rest of the morning

We continued exploring different corners of the park, and the wildlife just kept coming. We saw graceful peacocks, a few curious mongooses darting across the path, playful monkeys swinging through the trees, massive water buffalo, and several groups of spotted and sambar deer calmly grazing in the open.

And then, just before heading back for lunch—the grand finale: a small herd of elephants, including a few adorable babies. They were incredibly close to the jeep, calmly munching on leaves, completely unfazed by our presence. It was such a peaceful and intimate moment—definitely one of the highlights of the entire safari.
