Arrived at Infinity Corbett Wilderness after a drive through the featureless and grime-ridden landscape of Uttar Pradesh. Delhi and everywhere else very hot but UP seemed less scary than on my first visit. Very tired today and may not go out on the morning safari. Can hear a lot of birdlife in the mango orchard in which the staff quarters are built, but was too busy settling down to walk around with the field-glasses.
Dreadfully hot and muggy even here and I am told that there has been no rain for the last forthnight. The water levels in the Kosi are down and the lack of rain has made the water clear and one can see the mahseer. The staff inform me that the water will get even clearer in a month from now. That’s something to look forward to.
Spent some time on the flight reading The Man-Eating Leopard of Rudraprayag.
