TRIP TO YALA AFTER 6 MONTHS.........

 I went to Yala after a lapse of more than 6 months with a fellow photographer , his daughter , nephew and a friend in mid September . The arrangements were very much different due to fuel shortage etc. and the long delay in going was as a result of that and also due to the cost increase by more than 100%.

We left around 2.15 am and got to the entrance by 5.30. Spent the full day and got back home by 11 pm.
