Lonely Planet India - August 2016

Thanakha – a paste made from tree bark – is used as sun protection cream in Myanmar as seen on this woman’s face

The highlight of Andrew Snell’s trip was

cycling through the ancient city of Bagan.

After 14 days in Myanmar

I treated myself to a short

stay at Ngapali Beach on the

west coast. I was up and out

early. At the village of Jade

Taw I saw men bringing

their boats ashore from

the night’s fishing. In what

looked like a well-practised

event two women ventured

into the sea to collect baskets

of small fish before laying

them out to dry. I asked

permission before I took this

picture and although shy

the woman let me snap away.

There are only about 2000 Indian rhinos left in the wild

Shekhar Bopardikar is an architect and

a passionate wildlife photographer.

We were three hours into

our safari and had stopped

to watch a rhinoceros quietly

grazing 500m away from us.

Assuming it was oblivious

to our presence I pulled out

my camera to start shooting.

But suddenly I saw that the

rhino had started sprinting

towards us covering almost

half the ground in a matter

of seconds. Luckily our

driver had the presence

of mind to start the vehicle

and beat a hasty retreat.
