Jessica Agarwal can count herself really lucky that she was able to get a royal click of the majestic Big Cat in its natural best in the dying moments of 2021. Agarwal, who hails from Punjab came across the rare opportunity as she now resides at Jorhat of Upper Assam and after a long wait of 35 minutes when she snapped the full grown Royal Bengal Tiger along with the migratory Bar headed Geese- a picture that she would frame and put up on her wall proudly. Suddenly the golden yellow coloured, fulyl grown Royal Bengal tiger showed up walking majestically along the water. As per the National Tiger Conservation Authority, apart from tigers dispersing from Bhutan and Myanmar, there are two major source populations of tigers in the north eastern India – the Kaziranga landscape comprising the Kaziranga National park along with several other protected areas in Brahmaputra floodplains; and the Pakke landscape which includes Pakke Tiger Reserve in Arunachal Pradesh and Nameri Tiger Reserve in Assam. The Kaziranga National Park, also a UNESCO World heritage site was declared a Tiger Reserve in the year 2007.
