Day 4: Ranthambhore Game Reserve
Ranthambhore is one of the few preserves where the nocturnal
camera-shy tigers may be seen in daylight. Hunted almost to
extinction by the local royalty and their British overlords,
the population of the Bengal tiger is slowly increasing,

Wildlife Fund. You’ll enjoy thrilling game drives in the
morning and evening to scour the jungle for wildlife.

Jaipur, where the old city is surrounded by a massive wall

with its latticed balconies, tiny windows, cupolas, courtyards
and arched entrances, and concludes with a visit to the
ancient observatory.
