Think of Netherlands, and the images that come to mind are vast plains with canals, dikes, windmills. For the uninitiated, most parts of the Netherlands lie below sea level, and over the centuries, the Dutch have managed to push back the sea and reclaim land with an elaborate system of windmills and canals. No other place in the country has such a high concentration of old windmills as Kinderdijk, with its 19 mills.
Tigers and India are almost synonymous. Many westerners still have the impression that India is a land of tigers and elephants. Well, elephants maybe, but tigers not so much, not now. They are fast disappearing, and Bandhavgarh is one of the few remaining places where the tiger is still the lord of the jungle.
