Tiger Tracking in Ranthambore
The 'Golden Temple Mail' train whisks us through the countryside to our base on the outskirts of Ranthambore National Park; one of the finest tiger reserves in India, it has long been under the protection of the Project Tiger scheme. Known as one of the best places in the world to photograph tigers, sightings here are reported almost daily - to maximise our chance we include 4 visits to the National Park. Tigers aside, the park contains the last remnants of Central India's native forest which provides a habitat for sambar deer, leopard, crocodile, sloth bear and over 300 species of birds. We also include a visit to the abandoned but still awesome Ranthambore Fort, located within the park high above Jogi Mahal.
Exploring Delhi
Returning to Delhi we explore both parts of the city. In New Delhi we find tree-lined boulevards, spacious parks and fountains, then head into Old Delhi to discover the chaotic huddle of streets on foot and by cycle rickshaw. Here we experience Jami Masjid, India's most beautiful mosque and the bustling Chandni Chowk.
Comment
The activity level is easy and suitable for all. In the park we travel by cantor, an open sided truck specially adapted for game viewing.
