To beat the heat in the extreme summers of Central India, tigers spend a lot of time in water. This means that the summer time is the easiest time to track the striped cats, as they rarely stray away from their favourite waterholes. This also means that one can get a lot of photographic opportunities during the summer time to click the otherwise elusive cat. Here is a photo-essay of some of the amazing tiger sightings I have had during the summer time in Kanha.
