People think that wildlife in India is all about t People think that wildlife in India is all about the tiger, but we have many other success stories. One of the best conservation stories is the survival of the only remaining social cats in India, the Asiatic Lions of Gujarat which once roamed from Western Asia to the Middle East and north India but now only remain in Gir National Park. This footage, captured by Sunny Shah earlier today, shows them also ensuring that their species continues to flourish and be the Pride of Gujarat. #incredibleindia #lion #lionsofinstagram #lions #asiaticlion #lionsofgir #lionsofgujarat #sunnyshah #escapetoindia #memsahibonthemove #memsahibinindia #wildlifeofindia #wildlife #wildlifeplanet #lionsofindia #bbcwildlife #natgeowild #wildlifephotography #discoveringindiadifferently #weareindianexperiences

Yesterday was spent wearing a high vis jacket, dri Yesterday was spent wearing a high vis jacket, driving a very large van and singlehandedly humping Christmas Trees around West Yorkshire. Why? Well since returning to the UK for Christmas I've discovered that Christmas Tree collection is a great fundraiser for charities. People pay the charity, in this instance, Forget Me Not Children's Hospice in Huddersfield, to take their discarded Christmas Trees away. This is facilitated by a bunch of volunteers, yes, that's where I came in, who give their time to be collectors. How did this come about? Well I met a couple of chaps out dog walking and we chat, as dog walkers do. They have bought my book and helped me with webinar presentations and well, one good turn deserves another so when Ryan Grint was looking for Christmas Tree humpers, I was more than happy to volunteer. Now, this would be an easier job with two people but my other volunteer got stuck in snow and couldn't make it and me being me, decided to carry on regardless. Sometimes my ideas, no matter how well intentioned, aren't the best! ;) What did I learn? That virtually everyone this year went for 7ft trees! (!!!! !!!!) And Christmas tree needles really can get everywhere! :) Still it was fun and a way of giving back, I'd been looking to volunteer and this was a great start. All charities are struggling through the pandemic and so if you would like to donate, the link is below. https://www.forgetmenotchild.co.uk/ #forgetmenotchildrenshospice #fundraising #christmasinyorkshire #christmastree #christmastreecollection
Morning walk weather report -2, feels like -6. O Morning walk weather report -2, feels like -6. On our second round of the lake, the sun starts to rise, ducks and moorhens scuttle to a rare, unfrozen patch, in the trajectory of its welcome rays, eagerly soaking in the warmth of this new day's dawning sun. It's been a hard night on the ice and feathers are ruffled and wings spread as the warmth starts to permeate. Yet in the shadows, Jack Frost's magic can still be seen in the art created after a hard night at work. His creativity in constant jeopardy from his nemesis, the sun. Morning walks and winter observations; a winter in Yorkshire. #discoveringyorkshiredifferently #walksinyorkshire #morningwalk #sunrise #wintersun #winterstories #philippajkaye #discoverieswithdad #yorkshirewalks #yorkshire #8b48 #authorsofinstagram #authorsofig #mothernature #beautyofnature #frost #jackfrost #winterweather #escapetoindia #meditation #morningthoughts #motivation

Is it the sense of freedom or the sense of adventu Is it the sense of freedom or the sense of adventure that make this photo appeal to me? Is it the opportunity for escapism or the chance to be alone, calm, happily adrift, wondering mildly where the journey will take me whilst not quite daring to think of the destination?

Meanwhile, somewhere in Chhattisgarh way back in 2 Meanwhile, somewhere in Chhattisgarh way back in 2007. Exploring the under explored, getting off grid, and being welcomed and posed for by the locals, in true rural India style. There can be no where more welcoming than off beat India and few people who want to have their photos taken more than the villagers. HOWEVER, a golden rule, always ask, particularly if it's women, if it's okay to take a photo and if they say no, respect that. What does tend to happen is once on has asked for or agreed to their photos being taken, more will want to join on the fun, and by fun, I mean looking as serious as possible! #escapetoIndia #ruralindia #offbeatindia #centralindia #tribesofindia #memsahibinindia #memsahibonthemove #portrait #portraitsofindia #photographylovers #photographsofindia #portraitphotography #discoveringindiadifferently #solotravel #travelgals #ontheroad #roadtrippin #peopleofindia #peopleofindiaproject
Dad's first visit to India aged (almost) 80. The f Dad's first visit to India aged (almost) 80. The finale, a crazy Sunday brunch at The Leela, Delhi. My aim for dad's trip was to showcase my world to him, my India, the place I have made my home, an India of extraordinary experiences and people. He sampled the food from street samosas to a sumptuous Leela Sunday brunch which was his finale, pictures above. He tried chai, once. He tried Old Monk, once. He has tried to come to terms with Indian wine, and he drank a few bottles before making his final statement, “I’ve drunk worse.” He stayed in five star hotels, original Maharajas palaces (we almost lost him in one suite) and charming family homes. He found driving on a four lane highway into the setting sun only to encounter a truck coming at us, in the wrong direction on a blind hill, “somewhat disconcerting.” He has had his feet touched by several people from University professors to my local fruit vendor, claiming “my father is their father." He was astounded. He found Udaipur’s City Palace, “Impressive.” He thought Kanha was “excellent.” He has found much, “Interesting.” He has been the king of the understatement in part because he has been so overwhelmed. He has CONSTANTLY commented “What thoroughly lovely people,” and understands why I've dedicated my career to it. #discoverieswithdad #escapetoindia #memsahibinindia #memsahibonthemove #leelapalace #fivestarluxury #homestays #homestaysofindia #trulytailoredtravel #bespokeexperiences #weareindianexperiences #classiccarsofindia #discoveringindiadifferently #sundaybrunch #incredibleindia #delhi #indiaexpert

Dad's first trip to India aged (almost) 80. One Dad's first trip to India aged (almost) 80. One old man and his first Old Monk. And then, I took him on safari. How could I not? He had patiently proof read and re read my book, Escape to India so many times. I had to show him Shergarh Tented Camp in Kanha National Park, you see, my time spent here, managing this lodge was the inspiration behind the book; the camp, wildlife, its characters, local life, its markets and countless seemingly preposterous situations which became part of daily life. Oh, and it also happens to be my favourite place in India, and that's a tall order, deciding which, out of all the places I've fallen in love with throughout my 22 years in India, is my absolute favourite. But there is something special about Kanha, not just the wildlife but it's moods and colours which change throughout the day and the people. There's a heartbeat to it, a soul, a magical quality if you will that just creeps under the skin and, if you are lucky, settles in for the long haul. #escapetoindia #philippajkaye #memsahibinindia #memsahibonthemove #madhyapradesh #mptourism #kanhanationalpark #kanha #tigersafari #indianexperiences #indianwildlife #wildlifephotography #wildlifeofindia #authorsofinstagram #ecotravel #responsibletravel #discoverieswithdad #ecolodge #sustainabletravel
