For animal lovers, the sight of a tiger in its natural habitat is an amazing experience, but spotting five Royal Bengal tigers in two days is a rare privilege. To experience wildlife, we signed up with adventure tour operator Jungle Lore, for a two-night/three-day safari to Ranthambore, which is a sought after destination in Rajasthan to spot the Royal Bengal Tiger in particular. After an overnight train journey, we reached Sawai Madhopur district, which is home to Ranthambore National Park and were escorted to Raj Palace Resort - our home for the trip.
