Island tigress from Katerniyghat..
Girwa river is life line of Katerniyghat Wildlife Sanctuary. On one side is India while the other shore is from Bardia Nepal. Due to siltation Islands have formed in the middle of the river which are now huge landmasses providing safe haven to various species like Hog deer's Crocs Ghariyals and various turtle families.
Tigers are known to inhabit these islands also and that is what I was interested in.
After four hours of following the roaring of a Tiger we finally spotted a huge feline sitting on the edge.
Image was made from a boat on our first visit.
And then she turned out to be a tigress who blessed us with few minutes of her royal presence
Coming winters I would once again be looking to track few more of these beautiful but elusive Island Tigers..
