Day 6 - Tiger-spotting in Ranthambore National Park
Today, we head into Ranthambore National Park for an early
morning game drive in open-topped safari vehicles called 'canters',
which are for the exclusive use of Great Rail Journeys. Many rare
creatures such as leopards, hyenas, marsh crocodiles, and sloth
bears inhabit the reserved forest. The park's most popular
resident, however, is the tiger. In fact, the park is one of the
few places in India where the incredible Royal Bengal Tiger can
still be found in the wild, thanks to the successful efforts of
Project Tiger. To increase our chances of seeing as many animals as
possible, we embark on a second game drive in the afternoon. In the
evening, we attend a naturalist's talk on the flora and fauna of
Ranthambore.
