Friends,
Once you are out on a nature tour it is always a treat to the eyes. Observing nature teaches you a lot. Our trip to Solapur proved the same. Solapur Grasslands is a home for many of life forms including some of the endangered fauna such as The Great Indian Bustard. We didn't get a chance to see the GIB though. But, could witness some of the mesmerizing sights of the nature. Don't miss clicking on the video link provided below.
We are thankful to Mr. Brijesh, Mr. Nagesh and Mr. Rahul for helping us in execution of this camp.
