Our first safari in India starts at a very early hour from Sariska Tehla Gate looking for tigers and other mammals
Our last attraction for today is Bhangarh which is locally known as the haunted castle and cannot be visited at night due to ghosts
During our birdwatching trip we stop also at Neelkanth Temple complex which is comprised of multiple temples most of them destroyed centuries ago
With a bit of difficulty we arrange a birdwatching tour near Sariska exploring the forest and a small lake with a local guide
The drive to Sariska area is quite interesting both on highways and country roads arriving at our lodge overlooking an almost dry lake
Our major stop today is at Qutub Minar a beautiful World Heritage Site with a famous minaret and a rust resistant Iron Pillar
On our way to Sariska we stop at the Lotus Temple one of the 13 Baha’i temples in the world and the only one in Asia
Last stop of the day is India Gate a monumental memorial to the Indian dead in World War 1
Gurdwara Bangla Sahib is the first Sikh temple we visit and it is an impressive sight especially when viewed over the pool
