Ranthambore Tiger Safari The scenery and pace change as you arrive at Ranthambore National Park. As well as niglai, leopard, crocodile and sambar deer, you may be lucky enough to spot one of the park's famous Bengal tigers, as you go on safari amongst the watering holes and forest scrub. The Taj Mahal and Delhi Agra is your next destination, where the Taj Mahal sits serenely by the River Yamuna. To watch the sunrise over perhaps the world's most beautiful building is an unforgettable experience.
