First Tiger Sighting

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. 

Mehrangarh Fort, The Blue City of Jodhpur, Rohat

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!

Mihir Garh

Knandi
Rohet
Pali, Rajasthan, India
TEL: 91-9-636-169-665
 
“On the wild plains of Rajasthan— just an hour south of Jodhpur—the Mihir Garh is a palatial fortress hotel with an impressive stable of indigenous Marwari steeds. Take one on a maharajah-worthy journey through the desert or on a staff-guided picnic safari to a Bishnoi tribal village. Then come home to one of the nine enormous guest suites (each is over 1,700 square feet), which are done up in Rajasthani textiles and rich fabrics that will put the final touches on your storybook adventure”
