Face the Fear by Spotting Tigers at Ranthambhore National Park

Ranthambhore National Park

It was in October when I visited Ranthambhore National Park. With the idea of getting some relief from exhausting schedule, I undertook the trip. Visiting India second time did not cause me much trouble as I was ready to go for a mindful journey to India. I along with my wife Jenny reached Delhi in an evening of weekend. Assured by our travel operator in Delhi for every arrangement, we went to the hotel and after relishing our dinner, we fall off to sleep. Our next day was dedicated to the visit to this 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.

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!
