Have you ever wondered how does an
Indian Safari look like? If so, then you might be curious to visit and see one. And you don't have to go to India, or out of your comfort zone. Actually it will be a completely different experience what you would expect. But definitely something which nobody wants to miss.
What is the first thing comes to ones mind when hearing the word: safari..Animals of course! Big and dangerous animals! Up close and personal like we have never seen them before!
Elephants, tigers, snakes and so on. Maybe not flowers or trees I guess. But this time you have to revalue your idea about the safari experience and visit to the
Gardens by the Bay, Singapore with me, to be a witness of an Indian Safari from a totally different perspective!
If you are in Singapore this weekend, this is the right time (and last minutes) to witness it personally not only through my eyes and pictures but through their floral exhibition which can be seen till 2 November (Sunday) in the
Flower Dome.
I have visited there two weeks before, which was a part of my
Deepawali festival fever. But it is a good program to say goodbye to the festival, as the lights will be off in Little India by the end of the weekend, and a new chapter begins in the gardens too (sneak peek or just a hint on the upcoming happenings: Xmas is at the corner!!).

About 10% of the snake species of the world can be found in India. The most famous is the 6 meters-long King Cobra.
The
"*Snakes and Ladders" actually symbolizes a game which is a very popular, ancient Indian game. It is a
board game, with numbered checkboxes. Depends on rolls of dice, the aim is to reach the top by the aid of ladders but there will be snakes on your way to "bite you" and pull you down.
