Up Close with Bengal Tigers!

When the Maharaja ruled India they created their own private hunting grounds on what is now Ranthambhore National Park.

Bengal tigers were the hunting trophy back then, and are the viewing trophy today. Our ranger told us that in 100 trips into the park, only once will he see multiple tigers at such close distance. It was quite an experience!

We watched as the male cub on the left joined his brother along the riverbank, and then spent a couple minutes giving him a tongue bath.

A few more to acknowledge their stunning beauty.

Ranthambhore offers so much more than tigers. Who knew a Kingfisher was both a beer and a bird 🤷🏼‍♂️

The penalty for killing a Peacock, the national bird of India, is more severe than for killing a cow.
