A Head-On with the Ghost of Rajaji

The morning mist still clung to the jungle, wrapping the trees in a shroud of secrecy. Rajaji was silent. Too silent. The usual calls of birds and rustling of leaves had vanished, leaving only the faint hum of the wind. We rolled ahead cautiously, our gypsy crawling along the narrow dirt track. Something felt different—an invisible presence lingering in the air. And then, out of nowhere, he appeared. A shadow detached itself from the undergrowth—a ghost in motion.

A leopard.

He wasn’t just crossing the road. He was walking straight toward us.

My fingers froze over the camera. The jungle’s most elusive predator was giving us a head-on encounter, an opportunity that comes once in a lifetime. His golden coat, marked with black rosettes, flickered between the shafts of sunlight piercing through the canopy. His piercing gaze locked onto us, unwavering, unreadable.

Every step was calculated, slow, deliberate. His long tail swayed like a pendulum, his muscles coiled beneath his sleek frame, ready for anything. Not a single sound, not a single misplaced movement.

He was in control. And we? We were just visitors in his world. For a moment, he paused—a ruler sizing up his audience. The tension was electric. My heart pounded in my chest, but my hands stayed steady on the camera. This was it—the perfect shot, the perfect moment.

Then, as effortlessly as he had appeared, he slipped back into the shadows. The jungle swallowed him whole, leaving behind only the memory of that chilling eye contact.
