One can
almost sense a life of the wilderness, as the
Palace-on-Wheels arrives in Sawai Madhopur, a city named
after its founder Maharaja Sawai Madho Singh I. After
breakfast a visit is arranged to the Ranthambhor
National Park, wherein are located the ruins of a
10th century fort. This wildlife sanctuary is considered
to be the country's best for observing and
photographing the
activities of the tiger. The park, covering an area of 392 sq. kms. is home to more than 300 species of birds. The
tiger, hyena, rate, jackal and fox are among those constituting the carnivorous population here.
Sawai Madhopur is known for its excusive toys, ethnic ornaments and costumes. Upon return to the
Palace-on-Wheels, you leave for Chittaurgarh, when one gets an opportunity to watch the
colourful countryside passing by in the daylight. |
