After a fast paced touring through Jaipur our driver picked us up early morning for a four hour drive to Sawaii Madhopur to explore Ranthambore National Park. We checked into our hotel, Fort Nahargarh, which is a traditional Rajput hunting palace. Since it was the off-season for tourists, we pretty much had our run of the place. The only challenge was communicating with the help; their english skills were definitely lacking. We had three safaris scheduled for the tiger reserve beginning in late afternoon, and we were eager to get started. The reserve was well maintained, and we were quite fortunate to be able to see two tigers! Due to extremely "warm" conditions, the tigers were willing to venture close to water sources in an attempt to stay cool. This aided us in getting some great photos. It was pretty crazy being able to get so close to the wildlife. Another once in a lifetime experience. :)
