Jungle Lore
The aim of our Jungle Lore capsules will be to foster,
especially in the city bred folks, an awareness of the intricate
delicacy of the balance in nature and its fragility. This will enable
invoking the spirit of belonging and respect for the jungle and its
denizens. The tourist will be encouraged to enjoy and indeed celebrate
nature harmoniously and unobtrusively, following the time Honour
Code of the jungle to take back nothing but photographs and memories.
Interest will be created to convert people - seniors and
juniors - into genuine wildlife enthusiasts. Films will be screened for
an initial introduction to the flora fauna including insects of Himachal
followed by "practicals" orchestrated by experienced guides along forest
trails. Some typical aspects are highlighted here:-
Flora: Identification
of Trees such as pine, bluepine, rhododendron, oaks, orchids, shrub
flora, climbers, ferns and lichens.
Fauna: Early
morning and evening treksaround local game trails for sightings of
barking deer, goral, kalij, and cheed (pine)pheasants and other local
fauna. Since the essence of the wild can be truly experienced when dusk
descends, visitors will be taken to sit out in hides for an hour or two,
and hopefully tune on to the myriad calls, from the awe - inspiring
"saw" of the leopard, the "bell" of the sambhar, the "bark" of the
muntjac, the hoots and honks of night birds to the shrill accompaniment
of the cicada and a host of other sounds, leaving indelible memories.
Insects and Butterflies: An
introduction to the world of insects, including a brief insight into
species such as cicada and the tiger beetle, harbingers of jungle
bio-diversity and identification of locally available butterflies of
some 300 types found in Himachal.
Survival Techniques and Living Off the Land: In
order to kindle a spirit of adventure and discovery, instructors will
imparttraining in basic survival techniques, river crossing using simple
expedients and living off the land. Distinguishing between poisonous and
edible varieties of berries and plants will give visitors an interesting
insight to nature. Scout training, pitching tents and bivouacs, building
a fire, types of knots on ropes and handling of snake / insect bite will
be done to instil self confidence.
