BOAT SAFARIS
ENDLESS DISCOVERIES

In March this year, Abhishek Chaubey’s Sonchiriya saw Sushant Singh Rajput and Bhumi Pednekar essay roles of dacoits based in Chambal. Yash Raj Films too jumped on the bandwagon and announced that Shamshera will see Ranbir Kapoor play a bandit. Chambal has been the shooting spot for films such as Bandit Queen, Paan Singh Tomar and Phamous. However, our driver dismissed all dacoit talk saying they did not exist any more and instead regaled us with tales of the ichchadhari nagin that are well-known in Indian folklore. For the uninitiated, these are shape-shifting snakes that can assume different forms, including that of a human, and are known to be vengeful when betrayed. You can explore different vibe of Chambal dacets and many old sculpture out there.
