I had visited the Pench National Park in Khursapar in May.

We spotted a beautiful Bandra female on a hot May evening.

While Pench Khursapar has been getting awesome sightings of Baras and Durga along with her cubs, we were trying our luck on the other side of Khursapar.

And out she came for a drink.

She seemed shy but as we were the only gypsy, she was brave enough to walk up majestically and have a nice long drink :)

Here are some photographs:
