Bera Rural, Rajasthan, is the location.


Fascinating Bera Rural Rajasthan


Once again, I find myself enchanted by the timeless beauty of Bera Rural Rajasthan, a region that holds a special place in my heart since the 1980s. Undulating landscapes, unusual granite rocks, and the pleasure of adventure have become my constant companions throughout the years. Devi Singh, my close buddy, has been a loyal partner in these experiences, sharing in the thrill of fishing, hiking, and unraveling the secrets that lay inside this captivating region.
My stories about Bera provoke sceptical replies from the inexperienced. “Mate, you’ve been in the desert too long; you’re hallucinating,” they said, joking. To address such scepticism, I’ve chosen to let my recent experiences speak for themselves through the lens of my camera and the words of my blog.
Enter “HALLUCINATIONS,” my most recent blog article evoking the spirit of Bera Rural Rajasthan. The images and descriptions seek to depict the enchanting beauty and captivating creatures that flourish in this deserted area. A picture is worth a thousand words, as the adage goes, and my blog serves as a tribute to the bizarre encounters that await those who dare to journey into this lesser-known jewel.
The highlight of my recent trip to Bera was the incredible experience of birding in this secluded part of Rajasthan. The months of October to March prove to be great, as the countryside comes alive with avian delights. My Bera bird collection exemplifies the great biodiversity that inhabits this parched country, offering a glimpse into the unusual and sometimes ignored species that thrive against the backdrop of the Rajasthan desert.
Bera Rural, Rajasthan, continues to be a timeless retreat for people seeking adventure and oneness with nature. Through the lens of my recollections, Devi Singh’s friendship, and the visual storytelling in “HALLUCINATIONS,” I urge fellow travellers to embrace the beauty of this intriguing region and explore the hidden treasures that await in the heart of rural Rajasthan.
