One of the most amazing parts of this journey is our tour guide, the world famous conservationist, filmmaker and photographer, Toby Sinclair. He was responsible for the India volume of the Planet Earth Series

We saw our first tiger today and she was gorgeous! HUGE and had two cubs. What a thrill!! At Bagh Van today. Pench National Park in the middle of India where Jungle Book was written. Teak forest jungle. Today was a wonderful birthday present for Meg Nolan, our leader. We are driving through the countryside now to the next park – Kahana.
We are enjoying this amazingly beautiful country. Please see the picture of Mehrangarh Fort and note the intricate latticed windows, elaborately carved panels and curved porches. The people are wonderful! We have enjoyed Jodhpur and its golden sands. The architecture is simply breathtaking!
I am en route to India with good friends and am thrilled! We will be tiger tracking from January 21 returning February 15 and visiting five star properties throughout India. Please follow along with me – I will update you daily with photos and videos of this wonderful adventure!
