We were on a package tour of Kashmir and got an opportunity to visit other States en route. We were taken on a boat ride in Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh. The beautiful Narmada river was beckoning us.
I quite looked forward to this experience The boatman asked us to maintain the balance and not to move but some irresponsible passenger got up wanting to change the place with her husband as the sun was hitting her face. What followed was pandemonium. We all showed our resentment and most of all the boatman did not like it at all. What he later said sent shudders down my spine. He warned us that the river was infested with crocodiles.
The view was scenic with those soft marble rocks skirting the river but that episode spoilt my mood and I just wanted to get over the ride.

Beautiful view! I like the reflections and the luster of the water in this picture.
Those rocks were worth viewing despite there being a scare around.
That is a lovely view. I am glad the boat did not topple over.
Those soft marble clad mountains were a joy to behold This soft marble is used to make artificial jewellery and also sculptures. I picked a few studs and a statue of Venus de Milo. Carrying it all the way home was indeed a task
Such a stunning scenery! I am sorry to hear about your bad experience. There are many irresponsible people in the world.
I can still remember that lady so vividly!! The scenery was indeed stunning.
