India: Daulatabad Fort – Bats
This was unexpected and absolutely insane! There are several dark underground tunnels and passageway in the rock underneath the Daulatabad Fort that are filled with….. bats! Thousands of bats hanging from the walls and ceilings within a hands reach, some taking off and flying right in front of your eyes. With a flashlight, it’s possible to get deeper and deeper into various chambers and the number and proximity of bats is just staggering. And it’s quite a smelly affair and most certainly not for faint-hearted. Also, perhaps not a good idea to walk around with an open mouth…
