Ranthambhore National Park |
We took a flight to reach Jaipur in Rajasthan and
from there we headed towards Ranthambore Bagh Resort where our stay was
already confirmed by our tour operator in Delhi.
It took us around 4 hours to reach the Ranthambhore National Park.
That is how the excitement to see wildlife began! Jenny,
my wife is truly a photography lover. She carried her camera and we left for Ranthambhore National Park, the popular wildlife
destination in Rajasthan.
We had one gypsy booked so that we could enjoy photography
as well. Entering that picturesque zone, we first came across the lakes and
great bird life. Our first halt was at Padam Lake.
The wildlife creatures we came across were egret, snake, bird and parakeets.
Moving ahead, we captured the sights of spotted deers, owls, watching eagerly and
grey heron.
Our excitement to see tigers made us to stop at the park
for the time being. The guide suggested us to keep mum as our voice could
be irritating to animals. Unfortunately, sighting tigers did not happen that
day and we had to rush back to the resort as we were too hungry.
Ranthambore Bagh Resort |
After reaching the resort, we filled our hungry stomachs
with delicious food. The night spent with bonfires, folk music and sharing the
first day's experience. Staying in a camp with all the amenities and
surrounding greenery coupled with a homely feel relaxed us.
Choosing Ranthambore as our wildlife destination from
various India wildlife tour packages brought reward to us as the next day, we spotted a
tiger. The thrill was rising and we came to a standstill as soon as we felt
the presence of tiger around us! While Jenny was concentrating on clicking
to capture tigers without disturbing them, I was closely observing his
activities. Roaming around majestically, the tiger seemed bit scary with his
mighty built.
Well, we left back to the resort as we had to fly back for
our country next morning. Our tour to Ranthambhore brought us a truly
rewarding experience!
