Dancing in the Rain – A weekend in Tiger Territory

• Ranthambore National Park Safari
  We had heard a lot about Ranthambore National Park from our friends John and Doe who had visited the park last year during their vacations. They were both so ecstatic about their jungle adventure that it started our minds rolling. The thought of going on a Jungle Safari adventure was an instant hit with my group of friends. So we started making plans and arrangements for the same.
  
  
• We chanced upon www.tigeroath.com and booked a jeep safari for 4 people with them. But we just didn’t want to visit the park and move back. We wanted to see more of the place and its surrounding areas so we booked 2 rooms at a jungle lodge there in Ranthambore.
•  The temperature was soaring high and though it was monsoon time, the rain gods seemed too far away to give a pleasant shower. On our first day we set out early in the morning to the park in our jeep with driver and guide. It was a wonderful day with the different bird and animal sounds that seemed to envelope the entire atmosphere. When all of a sudden, there was a sudden burst of monkeys chattering loudly and birds flying off from their respective perches. The driver brought the jeep to a halt and motioned us to be quiet as we all had started quizzing the guide on what this all meant. 
  
  
  
  
  
  Lo!! Behold!!! There near the lake could be seen the King of the Jungle – the Tiger himself. Ooh! What a beauty he was, as he lapped up water at the lake’s edge. No sooner that he had appeared, he cantered off into the deep jungle foliage. Well our tour ended for the day with no further sign of the feline beast.
  
  
  Bird Watching Tour in Ranthambore National Park
   
  The next day we had plans to go for bird watching and exploring the jungle sights for other wildlife. We were well rewarded with sights of leopards, deer, bears and a lively band of long-tailed monkeys called langurs and a bevy of colorful birds. 
  
  Sunday was the best day of our stay because it rained heavily and we had loads of fun dancing in the rain. It added a zing to one of our most memorable holidays – a weekend tour  in Tiger territory – Ranthambore National Park.
