Day 1-2, Rajasthan: Ranthambhore Bagh and Tiger Dreams

We just returned from safari number 1 at Ranthambhore. Unfortunately we could not spot any tiger. But hope prevails as we still have 2 more safaris to look forward to. The second one begins in a couple of hours, so for now I have some time to blog about the trip.

How to reach Ranthambhore from Mumbai?
We took the August Kranti Rajdhani Express from Mumbai Central station on November 6 at 5.40 pm. The train reached Sawai Madhopur station (closest to Ranthambhore) at 6.40 am on November 7. From here, Ranthambhore is just a 15-minute drive.

Where to stay?
Well, we are staying at Ranthambhore Bagh and are more than happy about the choice. Excellent place, location, food and people. Mr Aditya and his wife Poonam, lovely people and owners of the place, joined us for dinner last night and time flew as they shared their interesting travel experiences and offered us many valuable tips for the trip ahead. If you are planning a trip out here, this is the place to be. Will share more about the hotel once I return home.

Safari no. 2: The safari guys took us to every possible area in zone 4 of Ranthambhore National Park. A tigress was spotted in this zone yesterday and how we wanted to get this zone allotted to us! Unfortunately, even after 4 hours, we had no luck. We did spot lot many Sambar and spotted deer, peacocks, interesting birds and wild boars but when you are trying to spot a tiger, these beauties fail to impress enough! Man is an animal that never gets satisfied, right? So I forgot how I dreamed of spotting lots of peacocks... When I did spot so many of them, I was thinking of tigers! Human greedy nature! Tomorrow morning we head for another safari... Please wish us luck!
