Ranthambore National Park

After reading LOTS of reviews about Rantambore national park vs Corbett national park we decided a trip to Ranthambore was right for us due to it’s location and close proximity to both Agra and Jaipur.  Once we arrived we were able to book a safari for the following morning without any problems from our guest house.We had chosen to do the safari in a gypsy that sat 20 people and were lucky enough to be placed in the front with the driver. This meant we had nobody standing in front of us trying to get a picture.  The gypsy picked us up at 6:30am and headed straight off to the national park. We were greeted by lots of sellers at the gates offering fleeced jackets, woolly hats and ear muffs due to the coldness of the early morning.  Getting through the gate was quick and we were off on the trail before we knew it.  Our guide and driver constantly had there eyes on the forest looking for any animal sightings.  We were on route 2 in the park and followed the trail all the way around.  We were pleased to see many deer’s, antelopes, monkeys, crocodiles, birds and wild boars.  On our hunt for a tiger we came across tiger prints in the soft mud on our trail and our guide told us that the droppings on the floor was tiger excrement.  With that in mind we spent quite some time around that area due to this, however was unfortunate and did not see any tigers. We wee not surprised by this, as the hotel had already told us December is not the best time of year. Although we did not see any tigers the morning safari ride was a great experience with great scenery of the rock formations, forts and greenery.
