Call it Kipling’s world, call it one of the finest wildlife areas in the world, call it a hub for magnamous sightings; but singularly and in precedence, it shall always be an ideal home for wide ranges of wild creatures; a thriving eco system that harbours the mighty tiger to the most populated Barasingha and…
Right then, under fed conditions, we were on a predetermined glide path through the jungle to the exit gate. Our pace, gentle; the wander through the thicket, therapeutic.

Analogous to its name, the Taj Lands end sits at the edge of one of the most pulsating suburbs of Mumbai. Almost at a vertex to the island of Bandra, it enjoys uninterrupted views of the Indian ocean on one hand and an incredible view of the skyline of a hyper metropolis on the other.…
