Tiger Tiger Burning Bright

Today, we are at Ranthambhore National Park. This used to be the hunting grounds for the Maharaja of Jaipur and in 1973 it was turned into a protected area where people can come to see the tigers and the tiger’s food – the deer, the blue antelope, peacocks (snacks or fast food for the tiger on the go) and crocodiles to name a few.


But first a little blogger relations. We are staying at the beautiful Tiger Moon Resort and have been treated royally by everyone here. Lakshmi Kand Shukla and Brij Bihari in food and beverage have given us some wonderful recipes for Indian cuisine and Christina and I bought some jewelry from Najis Khan who has a small artisanal jewelry shop in Jaipur. Luckily I am writing this in the restaurant as Brij has just corrected me on the names and the department.

This morning we went on safari for 3 hours and surprisingly, despite being on an open bus, saw quite a few animals though no tigers. Alex and Chris have gone out for another try.

Our India

Our India
Cameron, Chris and Heather will travel to Varanasi, in Uttar Pradesh, during the 3 days before Alex arrives. We meet Alex and then set out from Delhi in the north. We travel mainly in Rajasthan, in what is called the Golden Triangle. We will visit the Taj Mahal in Agra, Jodhpur, Jaipur, often called the Pink City, Udaipur with a Palace that sits in the middle of a lake, and Pushkar, which every year has a big camel fair. Then Alex and Chris return home to university. Heather and Cameron continue and tour through parts of the south, starting in Chennai and Madurai, both in Tamil Nadu. We drive through the Western Ghats arriving in Cochin and the backwaters of Kerala. Mumbai ends our trip and home to Canada.
