Answer:
Our spring holidays had started. Hurray! I woke up in the morning early, jumped out of bed and got ready. We were going on a one week holiday to a national park in Madhya Pradesh called Bandhavgarh. We took the taxi and reached the train station. I was excited to see that our train had sleeping berths. Our mother gave us books to read. Soon it was time to sleep. I managed to get some sleep despite the loud snoring of a big, burly co passenger!
Next day, we woke up at five am and hopped out of the train at Katni station. A taxi took us to our hotel named Bandhavgarh Meadows. It took us two hours to reach our hotel from Katni station. We were welcomed warmly by a glass of lemon water and showed our villa. It was so very spacious! In the evening as my brother and me explored the area, we met two girls from the nearby village who were plucking coriander leaves in the field next to our hotel. Their names were Priyanka and Pooja. They asked us if we would like to join them. It was fun chatting with them and helping out as farm helpers!
The next morning, my mother and me went for a nature walk with Mahindhar Uncle, the hotel manager. Our hotel was very close to the Bandhavgarh national park. We saw a group of spotted deers and many different types of birds. The high point of our nature walk was seeing a dancing bamboo leaf. It looked so cute prancing around in the morning breeze!
That afternoon we had to go for our first jungle safari. I was a little nervous at first but soon began to enjoy the sights and smells of the jungle. We saw a jackal, a family of wild boars and a peacock with spreaded feathers dancing. Mahender Uncle told us that wild boars were the favourite food of the tigers! The second day, we spotted many monkeys, sambars and spotted deers. The third day was our last safari into the jungle. We saw a male tiger drinking water by a cave where his partner and 4 three month old cubs lived. It looked so majestic and smart. I kept looking towards the cave hoping his little cubs would feel thirsty and join him too! As we drove out of the national park, I prayed that this tiger and his family remained safe from poachers.
On our last day in Bandhavgarh, my mother had planned a special trip for us to Mahender Uncle's village located an hour away from our hotel. It was a beautiful village situated near the jungle. Mahender Uncle showed us the school he studied in and his village home. We visited one of his friends' field where the wheat plant was ready to be harvested. My brother and me got lessons in how to pluck wheat!
The high point of our village experience for me was when I joined a group of village boys herding their goats. It was so much fun being in the countryside. As we drove away from the village, I could not help but wonder how lucky these village children were to have all these cute animals to play with all the time!
The next day we bid Mahender Uncle and the entire hotel staff of Bandhavgarh Meadows goodbye. They had been so friendly and caring towards us. I knew that if we ever came back to visit Bandhavgarh, this is where we would stay. It really was a home away from home!
