That was the first day of my semester break at my hometown,Hazaribagh. On 06/07/2013, I decided to visit my very old and good friend Arnab. He was on holidays too. At around 10 am I was at his place having our usual conversation. Suddenly,it came to my mind that we should go somewhere nearby for fun. Having lived here for over 15 years, I have never visted Hazaribagh national park which was just 15 km from my house. Let me tell you a little geography about this wildlife sanctuary. Located in the state Jharkhand, this is one of the 442 animal sanctuaries in india covering over 182 km^2 of area which is around half of very famous Kaziranga National Park. It starts from about 15 km from Hazaribag town on the Hazaribag-Barhi road and extends to east and west, but mostly westward for several miles. It is claimed that the Sanctuary has wild bears, sambhar, nilgai, chital and kakar, sloth bears,tigers and leopards.
So it was immediately decided that we are visiting there today. Before you question what we were doing since 15 years, you should know this national park is considered very unsafe due to maoists activites due to which people rarely visit this place and is categorised as one of the least famous wildlife sanctuary.Despite knowing the danger we decided to go there. It was me,Arnab,Sumit and Arnab's old Maruti 800 which hit the road for one of our memorable adventures.
Weather seemed marvellous which boosted our excitement to another level. As we entered the gate, we were welcomed on rugged road on which riding the car seemed little troublesome. Further, we saw huge number of cows crossing our paths. Practically, we have seen first animal here. It was not more than 1 km we got to see something exceptional. It was the huge well built centuries ago by the king who ruled here, the purpose of the well was to trap tigers into it. Once the tiger has fallen inside the well there was no way out and a tunnel with doors was made connecting land to deepest portion of well so that people can visit there to capture injured or dead tiger.
From here we took the less travelled road between two to make this safari more exciting and evoking. On the way we got to see peacocks,deers,other birds whose names I dont know and how I can forget that beautiful fountain. We had to clime down the bridge and cross the river to get an amazing view of this
fountain.
We travelled for more than 10 km before we reached the guest house where we enjoyed the boating experience but again an unexpected happened, our boat got struck in the middle of the lake. Thanks to Arnab swimming skills, he jumped off the boat and pushed it and we were safe. We are going to remember this for our life especially when we will go for boating. Further, we went 4 km deeper up the hill to see highest watchtower from where we got such an admirable and alluring view which can't be forgetten.
It was already very late so we decided to return. While returning we got to see nilgai which made us realise there are still many things here we havent explored and we will be visting this again for sure.
Thanks to Arnab and Sumit for such a wonderful and unforgettable day .
