Me and my friends were hiking on the trail of Neemrana fort. It was a flat land and we saw a snake coming our way. Our movement must have alarmed him so he stopped suddenly. He raised his head from the surface and started sneering at us. I had read about the nature of snakes and that sound meant that he was scaring us. We retreated slowly from him, facing him, so he would have eyes on us. Upon a good distance of 50 feet, he started going in the opposite direction of us. We all were scared and numb the whole time.
