Afternoon safari inside nandhaur wildlife sanctuary in a gypsy looking for leopards , sloth bear, elephants and if we are lucky even a tiger .back to camp for Evening tea followed by bonfire.

Note : Though the sanctuary has a very good density of leopards and its preybase still one needs to be very lucky to spot the big animals out in the open, as the Sanctuary is not regularly visited by tourists , and the animals are shy of humans .
