We will also pass through the lone Tribal Village in the sanctuary area, it is a village of the Bhil Tribe.
We stop at a small water reservoir famously called the Crocodile Lake, or Thandi Beri in the local language. As the name suggests, we try and get lucky to spot a couple of crocodiles sunbathing on the reservoir wall. We continue the last leg of our trek to our finishing point, the Muchala Mahavir Jain Temple, where we see a lot of black-faced Monkeys (the langurs) loitering around.
