Nikhil and I are passionate about animals and firmly support all the efforts for conserving tigers.The first sightingThis was the first time that we got to see a tiger in its natural surroundings and that too about 10-feet away. They are such majestic creatures.On the trailRanthambore is incredible! The highlight was spotting the tigers. We were lucky enough to spot them on all four days that we were there. Sometime we spotted two tigers at the same time. The sanctuary is beautiful even if you aren’t fortunate enough to spot a tiger as it is situated around the picturesque fortress built in the 10th century.
