In Search of the Bengal Tiger

 

A major highlight of the Taj and Tigers tour was a visit to Ranthambore National Park, one of the best places to see the Bengal tiger

 

It was an early start for our first drive into the park . . .

 

. . . and it was very cold (by Indian standards)

 

There was plenty of inquisitive wildlife . . .

 

. . . and then we spotted what we'd primarily come for!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“My, what big teeth you have!”

 

After a while the tiger wandered off, but settled again to sun himself on the rocks

 

Sambar deer — favourite tiger food!

 

It was a lot warmer when we set off for the afternoon drive

 

This time we followed a different route, with ruined temples . . .

 

. . . and Ranthambore Fort

 

We thought that we were going to miss out on seeing a tiger on the afternoon drive, until we finally spotted this tigress
