Dear Nature lovers,
We recently had a great monsoon that almost crossed many records of the decades. Although, forest is beautiful throughout the year but, post monsoon season is always very charming in the forest. OikoEssence conducted nature camp to Melghat in the month of September, 2019 to observe this beauty of the forest. It had been really magical time that we got to spend here. We all came back with beautiful memories and got some good clicks during this camp and would be sharing some of them here. Melghat is one of the largest forested area in Maharashtra and is a home of many wild species such as tigers, gaur, leopard etc.
