She is a travel lover and loves to explore the culture, history, cuisine, and people. She loves to go on trips that would take her to the lap of Mother Nature. She too had her share of ups and downs in the Covid-19 pandemic, but when the restrictions were lifted she started traveling following the Covid-19 protocol.
Ranjini visited Kabini, a part of the Nagarhole National Park on her first trip after the restrictions were lifted and stayed at Red Earth, our resort in Kabini. The drive to Kabini as she mentions was an out-of-the-world experience as she could spot wild animals on the way. The resort is adjacent to the Kabini dam has an aesthetic look as it blends with nature and the stay as described by her is outstanding.
The best part of the resort according to her is that most of the employees in the facility belong to the local community and their culture is showcased in the form of activities organized for the entertainment of guests. “One gets the opportunity to understand nature while staying at ‘Red Earth Resort’ ” says Ranjini.

The river provides water even during the driest months and as the water seeps in Summer grass sprouts in areas where the water has receded making it a green oasis in otherwise dry surroundings.

One can often see huge herds of elephants sometimes numbering over 50 and Gaur, herds of deer, birds, and even predators like the tiger and leopard quenching their thirsts.
