Tiger Safari Resort Sawai Madhopur

... tree-pies, cormorants and the very funny jungle warblers who when we stopped the bus for a break, fluffed themselves up and invaded the vehicle. Totally unafraid they were funny and quite cute and a real close encounter. There are also marsh crocociles living in the park but we didn't get to see them we were cold and tired but very very happy. We got back to the hotel and getting our priorities right we had a look at our photos - not bad at ...

... look around, and sure enough there was
a female leopard lying in the grass right next to the road!



It was hot season while I was there, so the park was pretty dry and the
lakes were low, but there was still sooo much greenery and really

dying back and so this led to better opportunities to spot animals. On
every trip I saw deer and monkeys ...

... permitted. Getting down from the vehicle and walking in the park is not allowed. The path in the park is quiet rough and bumpy , a good driver and jeep can only manouvre these rocky terrains. The surroundings were beautiful we were in the midst of nature, in the natural habitat of wild animals.

... hastily but am interrupted mid stream by that weird feeling...you know the one, where you realise someone is watching. I look behind and above me. A park ranger, rifle in hand, has been peering down at me this whole time. I hiss and yell and him and flee the scene. Honestly, I don't mind peeing in the outdoors; I don't mind that this is a national park: why should there be any tourist facilities? But for heaven's sake, India, do you think you could ask your ...

... being zone 1, the one next to it (anti-clockwise) zone 2. The expanse in the middle (this has the lakes and thereby the maximum wildlife) is the popular and sought after zone 3, followed by zone 4 and, finally, zone 5. It's the Forest Department that does the scheduling of where your vehicle is headed - so it is purely a matter of luck. But, just as zone 3 need not guarantee sightings, you might even strike gold in the other ...
