We're all going on a lion hunt... (i mean tiger)

Another monster of a journey involving auto rickshaws (of which Glen drove one), buses, a train ride in the catering carriage and a sprained ankle to get to our next destination, Bandhavgar national park. We were exceptionally lucky that on our first day we were whisked away to the edge of the park by our new friends to see our first glimpse of a tiger, it was in the distance but we saw its stripped slender body walking through the trees and up the hill.

Over the next couple of days we did three safaris and saw a mix of wildlife; spotted deer, monkeys, samber, storks, lizards wild boar and yes another tiger. It was a 9year old male laid in the shade next to the water. It was looking around with its huge head and resting its shiny orange and white body as the sun went down. It was a fair distance away but we were able to get a good look with binoculars. Unfortunately we didn't meet any close up or see a kill like others we spoke to buts that's nature for you. We were lucky to see the two we did!!
