The forest surrounding our estates teems with wild life. The flora and fauna have been the subject of studies by people from all over the world. With its mixture of animals ranging from elephants to the larger cats, including tigers, and from stag to mouse deer, and not to speak of the varieties of bird and insect life, this is a veritable paradise. The endangered lion-tailed macaque has its home here and ranges the jungle in peace.
