What should be one’s approach to the National Park during his visit?
The visitor’s approach should be unconditional and less demanding. Many people still harbor a lot of wrong notions about our protected areas. They often fail to distinguish it from a zoological garden. A person should expect meaningful interaction with the wilderness and it should not end up in a frantic search for bigger wild animals. Animal sightings should be taken as part of a wholesome wilderness experience. His visit should be an enjoyable quest for understanding the inter relationships that exist in Nature. He should keep asking questions like what, why, how so that his inquisitiveness will lead him to small and big revelations about the Nature around him which will constantly remind him of his position in the grand scheme of the Creator. Every moment we spend in the wilderness is a stepping stone to a higher plane of understanding.
