The Tale of the Tadoba Tigers

Gabbar and Matkasur had a fight today near 97. May be, they were fighting over Maya, the region’s prettiest female. Because of this fight, Bhobda is not to seen at all. Choti Tara is also missing in action. These are the conversations that happen inside Tadoba Tiger Reserve and all these characters are tigers and tigresses. This is the land of the tigers and all you hear are their tales.

Top 9 Off-Beat Holiday Locations in Indonesia

The largest archipelago on planet Earth and one that spreads across one-sixth of the earth’s diameter, Indonesia, is one of my favorite countries to explore just for the sheer diversity of riches that it offers to its visitors.

Others are slightly better and know Jakarta, Borobudur, Prambanan, Komodo National Park and Lombok.

Indonesia is so much more. From stunning rainforests to active volcanoes and from coral biospheres to an amazing tribal culture, wonderful Indonesia offers so many unbelievably vibrant and special experiences that you can spend a year in that country and still not scratch its surface.

1) Tana Toraja

I love Tana Toraja for its unbelievably special tribal culture. Located in the central highlands of Sulawesi island, Tana Toraja is one place that celebrates death. There is more action during a funeral here than during a wedding. It’s lush green countryside, its rock-cut tombs and spirit guardians, its terraced rice plantations and its unique traditions make this place a stunner of a destination.
