WOW! I have that orchid (image 0667)...I didnt know its endemic to India.
You stayed in a big mansion ... that will save you from the tigers and leopards...I saw a documentary where the village was eaten by a big tiger one by one until they decided to hunt it down and kill it

from one beautiful place to another ( T & & ). You sure get around ! I can believe that its a small village - very few people in your photos !
