Monkeys of Teerathgarh

Situated bout 35 KM away from Jagdalpur, main city of India's tribal area Bastar, Teerathgarh is famous for its picturesque waterfall, besides being the safe refuge of thousands of red faced monkeys. The lush green forests offer them all that they need- tall trees, running clean water, pollution free environment! People visit to see the fall, also bring the food stuff for them available in the nearby small shops. Recently I got an opportunity to go there. These are comparatively small sized monkeys. Jumping and playing from one tree to another, from one branch to other branch, land to trees and from there climbing the walls was quite fascinating- like revising our childhood!
