We were trekking to the Tadiyandamol peak. It was hot and we had trekked a bit. It was thick everygreen forest everywhere. Suddenly we see a large raptor soaring. From one look, it looked like a Booted Eagle. We watched it for a while and went ahead with the trek. After a while, on the same path we saw the same bird taking off from the ground. We had failed to notice it on the ground. It was just above our head soaring and I couldn’t believe my eyes. I didn’t even need my binocs to see the bird. It is easily one of the best sightings of the bird I’d ever had.

Right above me
