Ranthambore
National Park
A
lovely lodge outside the game park with plentiful food (I will miss
the nan bread and Kingfisher beer) and an affordable gift shop with
lots of t-shirts and local art. We had two game drives, one in the
morning and then another after lunch, and saw an array of animals;
the peacocks were glorious and the monkeys....well, you can't beat
their antics! Of course, our goal was a tiger sighting and I,
along with our guide, was able to catch a quick view of the back of
this elusive and majestic animal; I suppose a bit of stripes is
better than none at all...and, for that, I was fortunate.
Visits
to a local woman's art cooperative and a small school in Ram Singhpura followed by a
walk throughout the village provided wonderful “cultural
connections” and an opportunity to read with the children and visit
with the townspeople.
