❝AT TWENTY-SEVEN DEGREES NORTH LATITUDE I'm about to make my last one expedition of this intense season, a very Salgari expedition. To think that not so long ago I foolishly despised him! What a huge mistake: with him I discovered, without even realizing it, Kali, Buddha and tigers, but not those plastic ones that arrived buried in those first drums of Spanish detergent together with other wild figurines (I still have some), tigers, I said, in action... as from Bardia Forest Resort, a family property converted into a small hotel.
Not a friend of visiting zoos - neither zoos nor cemeteries - the idea of getting closer to the Bardiya National Park has another color and even glimpses of being fulfilled and seeing real tigers. Although the most elegant animal in creation, without a doubt, is the giraffe, In tigers, eternal youth seems to be reincarnated, the power to invoke self-control and vigilance to disdain, an irresistible mixture. Giraffes are dull after all and in the skin of the tiger lies the strength of almighty Siva.
Yesterday, February 6, I flew in a twin-engine turboprop plane with the airline Yeti Airlines, With the fatal accident in Pokhara Recently, from Kathmandu to nepalgunjAnd from that small and remote airport in a jeep, then by road, I reached the reserve to explore it in the next four days of relaxation and tension with one of the best feline spotters, the little Great Tharu Baba, who was waiting for me patiently and kindly at the side of the parking lot. There was no alternative.
May Siva and all the Nagas protect us! ●
