No Tiger but....

Only the lucky ones would see a tiger roaming in Ranthambore National Park which is located in the Sawai Madhopur district of southeastern Rajasthan. Once the hunting grounds of the Maharajas of Jaipur, the park is now home to about 30 or so tigers.  Focus at this park is placed on increasing the tiger population.

So you may not see a tiger but what you will experience is a bone-rattling drive through the park and sightings of other wildlife and vegetation!
