Shyamala ji, It is easy to mistake this as shot in himalayan foothills. This was shot in Bandhavgarh when summer was just setting in. Tall dense trees all around helps in keeping the place cool. However, these days cutting of trees, lopping of branches, especially to feed the forest department elephants have gradually resulted in the forest becoming more open. I have seen some areas very dark. But these days, the nature of the place has changed. Coupled with increased tourist vehicles, crowding and general mismanagement, I have stopped visiting bandhavgarh.
