Year

We start the morning exploring Keoladeo National Park on a four mile hike to the end of the road walking on dikes and seeing hundreds of birds

We arrive in the late afternoon in Bharatpur and enjoy an evening on our balcony and a dinner at the hotel restaurant

The one stop we have planned today is at the beautiful and famous Chand Baori Stepwell one of the deepest in Rajasthan

Before leaving Ranthambore we are taken to a shop managed by women that were pushed out of the National Park at its creation

On our second and last safari in Ranthambore we finally get lucky and see tigers, even two of them, in Zone 2

Between our safaris we visit the Museum of Natural History which is a hidden gem not visited by many white tourists

The first safari of the day is to Ranthambore Zone 3 with no luck in our quest for tigers but with some beautiful views and interesting birds and mammals

Ranthambore Fort is the one place you can go without a permit so that is our goal today for a nice cultural visit with some birdwatching by the side

Arriving from Jaipur we spend part of the afternoon and evening exploring the gardens of our accomodation

Late afternoon we visit Albert Hall Museum which is quite popular followed late in the evening by a major temple near our accomodation
