We started the day off driving through the Panna Tiger reserve. Armed to the teeth with a petrol can, we eagerly anticipated the moment when we would face the King of the Jungle. Sadly, all we saw were some monkeys. Just as we were getting used to the desert landscape we turned onto the road to Amanganj and it changed dramatically once again - to a deep red soil with more lush vegetation.The drive was stunning highlights including a completely dried-out waterfall which was obviously carved out by a huge river that perhaps only flows during the wet season. See photo of this and of another river which had literally stopped flowing and looked like a lake.
Although we got a little lost along the way (we had some difficulty reading the Hindi signposts) we eventually made it to the Marble Rocks at Bheraghat - a beautiful river valley with marble rising out on either side. Best viewed from the water, we took a boat along the river as the sun sank in the sky and enjoyed some peace after a dusty day on the road.
