We had a great and memorable trip to Ranthambhore on the 26 January Weekend. Saw many tigers (Baagh-panthera tigris), alligators (Gharial- gavialis gangeticus), crocodiles (Mugger-  crocodylus palustris), Spotted Deer (Cheetal-axis axis), Blue Bull Antelopes (Neelgai- boselaphus tragocamelus), Sambar Deer (Sambhar- cervus unicolor), Wild Boar (junglee soower- sus scrofa cristatus) etc..

This was is addition to the rich variety of trees, plants, butterflies, birds, snakes, insects etc and the complete checklist runs to over 500 species. We also had a long motorboat trip on the river Chambal (at its confluence with Paar and Dwaar). This was at the border of Rajasthan and MP.

The highlight sightings were the pratincole, the little ringed plover, the Sind Krait, and of course, the tiger sightings.

Stayed in a great place- The Ranthambhore Bagh. A nice forest resort run by Dicky and Poonam- old friends.

Great fun for the whole family.
