My forests are typically dominated by Teak, Salai and Anjan trees.

There are also dense growths of bamboo and grasses in different parts of the forest of Yawal Wildlife Sanctuary.

    Hi,
    Few recommended correction-
    1) There should be a comma between wild dog and sloth bear.
    2) Correct the spelling of bear in sloth bear. It’s not beer!

    To the best of my exploratory finding, one should start from Bhusaval in the morning, by own vehicle. Road conditions are not known. Forest Dept. does have a Rest House which must be basic. Carry own supplies and be prepared to sleep in vehicle for the night, worst comes to worst.

    If couple of enthusiasts r ready, we can plan a trip from 8.1.19 for a day or two ex. Bhusaval, unless somebody has better idea.
