As prevention,  lockdown  was adopted as a temporary measure globally. All of us were confined to our homes for months together. After 1 st  wave, the unlocking was done in a phase-wise manner, so as soon as the restrictions were relaxed, we thought of taking a short day trip to any open and exciting place.

Hey readers, Hope you all are doing great and are safe in this pandemic. Here, I am back, with our second travelogue! If you haven’t read my previous one, check it out here:  https://travelogue-upasana.blogspot.com/2021/05/ecocamp-little-rann-of-kutch.html .   Do you like trekking? Come on then, this is exactly your blog! Let’s explore a terrain totally different from the Rann of Kutch discussed in the last blog. This terrain is famous for trekking and known as “Polo Forest”.  It is located at the foothills of the  Aravalli range. The ideal time to visit this trek point is after monsoons, from September to December;  when the forest appears lush green and the rivers are fresh blue. This forest falls into the category of a tropical dry deciduous forest. The whole forest is spread around 400 km 2 .

Most of 2020, we were confined within our respective homes. Out of boredom and monotony, we thought of taking a trip in this challenging Corona times. Keeping in mind the risk we decided to go remote places in nature’s lap. We chose Eco camp in the small village, Jogad, located in the outskirts of Little Rann of Kutch (LRK).   This trip was our family time together amidst nature.
