Asia's wildest places, from the Siberian wilderness to the coral seas of the Indian Ocean.
Myself and the rest of the film crew were trapped. Our trusty van was parked nearby, but we were stuck, hiding in some bushes. A herd of Asian elephants were just a stone’s throw away, and they were agitated. A colossal gaur had startled the herd, and a protective matriarch was trumpeting loudly, leading her family closer and closer to us - the hapless BBC crew tasked with filming her.
Our spirits were lifted when we finally emerged from the forest on to the Valparai Plateau, where we would be based. The view was remarkable: apparently endless tea plantations, bathed in golden sunlight, with mountains looming in the distance. Ganesh’s expertise came into play just days into the shoot - having finally found our first herd grazing on a tea estate, we set up our camera some 50 metres away.
One of the most memorable filming days came towards the end of our shoot. A call came in that a herd we’d been following had entered a particular tea estate, and Ganesh knew it was likely they would cross a particular road in order to move into nearby forest. We rushed to arrive ahead of the herd, and deployed both our long-lens camera, as well as some carefully camouflaged remote cameras.
