Hi Prashant,

Very well, nicely written descriptive story and beautiful photography.

Whether crocodiles and alligators are found only in a certain spot or whole length of the river in chambal.

excellent pics prashant ji.

I remember crossing the chambal as part of marriage party way back in 1981, we were crossing the chambal belt at night and all the roads had small barracading in zig zag manner, so that the no car can pass fast, it had to snail pace movement. It was the scary night man.
