One of life's most rewarding experiences is to see the magnificent Bengal Tiger in the wild. Our 7 day trip combines Ranthambore National Park with time in Delhi. To make the best use of our time on this short break, we use the efficient railway service from Delhi to Ranthambore. Tiger Tracking in Ranthambore After a leisurely first afternoon in Delhi we board the "Golden Temple Mail" the following morning. The train whisks us through the countryside to our base on the outskirts of Ranthambore National Park, and we set off in the afternoon on our first safari. Ranthambore National Park is one of the finest tiger reserves in India and has long been under the protection of the Project Tiger scheme. It is one of the best places in the world to photograph tigers as sightings are reported almost daily even during daylight hours ­ to maximise our chance we include 4 visits to the National Park. Tigers aside, the park contains the last remnants of Central India's native forest which provides a habitat for sambar deer, leopard, crocodile, sloth bear and over 300 species of birds. We also include a visit to the abandoned but still awesome Ranthambore Fort, located within the park high above Jogi Mahal. Exploring Delhi Returning to Delhi we explore both parts of the city. In New Delhi we find tree-lined boulevards, spacious parks and fountains, then head into Old Delhi to discover the chaotic huddle of streets on foot and by cycle rickshaw. Here we experience Jami Masjid, India's most beautiful mosque and the bustling Chandni Chawk. 21 Oct-27 Oct 28 Oct-03 Nov Bengal tiger/Chris Milne FACTFILE Itinerary Day 1 Fly London/Delhi. 2 Arrive Delhi; free PM. 3 Train Sawai Madhopur, entry point for Ranthambore National Park; PM game drive. 4 AM game drive; PM visit Ranthambore fort and game drive. 5 AM free to relax; PM game drive. 6 Train Delhi; PM tour of New and Old Delhi. 7 Fly London.
