Agra Asia » India » Uttar Pradesh » Agra
Day 12 - Agra We woke up on our sleeper train to find that everyone in our compartment had a resonable nights sleep espicially Nicky who had taken a sleeping tablet and said that she had the best nights sleep of the holiday so far. We hadn't been up long before we were treated to the sound of the chai waller coming along the carridge. This is a man with a large tea urn which contains the hot spicy tea who goes along the train shouting "chai chai chai chai" as he goes. Not wanting to miss out on a nice [View Full Entry]

Day14 - Jaipur After our late start, we were heading into the market area of Jaipur by tuk-tuk. We got out and headed towards the Palace of the Winds. We passed marketstalls and small shops, all of which promised much and we vowed to return later for shopping. The Palace of the Winds is pink, and has nearly 100 windows in it. We also saw where the City Palace gates were, and after consulting the guidebook thought this might be a good place to visit after the Amber Fort. After a few photos, we headed back to where the tuk-tuk's had [View Full Entry]

Day 13 -Bharatpur Asia » India » Rajasthan » Bharatpur
Day 13 - Bharatpur - Jaipur An early morning start saw us catch cycle rickshaws to the Bharatpur Bird Sancturary which actually was a little further from the hotel than we thought. The rickshaw riders looked like they were struggling a little but we guessed they must be used to it, although a Chris Hoy in the making they are not. The bird park was good and we spotted loads of different types of birds including Serpent Eagles, Owls, Cattle eagrets, Kingfishers, wagtails, drongos and much more. We were also told about a part of the monestary where a monk lived [View Full Entry]

Day 15 - 16 Back to delhi We arrived back in Delhi with a mixture of happiness that we were going home and a little sadness that our adventure had come to an end. During the day we had gone to Connaught Square for the last bit of shopping, and managed to finish our shopping and ensure that we had presents for everyone. We had one last meal with everyone at tea time and met at the only bar that had a drinks licence. It was the one we had visited right at the start of the holiday and was full [View Full Entry]

The Hyatt Regency in Delhi

Day 11 - Kanha-Agra We arrived at 5.45am and had until 10.30am to spot a tiger which is when the park closes for the morning. The unlucky bus was split up with Dan and Nicky going in another jeep, and Mark coming with us instead. We drove straight to the midway point to register our jeeps for the tiger show, if their was going to be one, and we were jeeps 13 and 15 which the guide said was an okay place to be in. We seemed to spend the first part of the morning driving to different parts of the [View Full Entry]

Day 10 - Kanha It was another early start for us, with a packed breakfast being provided by the hotel, which we hoped would be an improvement on the last ones! When we arrived at the gate, it was less disorganised, but there were a lot of jeeps in the line. At this park, there are actually more tigers, around 93, but the park is much larger meaning it is harder to see one. There are only a couple of routes that the jeeps follow, and we actually followed our other jeeps. We were joined in the unlucky bus by Adam [View Full Entry]

Day 6 - Panna Asia » India » Madhya Pradesh
Day 6 -Khajuraho-Panna Panna was only a short drive away, so we were not setting off until after brunch. We were given the option of joining yesterday's lunch host Dilip for a painting class in his shop. Although we didn't have a go ourselves, we called in on some of our group and looked at some of the paintings Dilip had done which were for sale. He had a lovely selection of paintings on silk, old paper and postcards. We then met the group for brunch, which included porridge, and we set off to Panna. Our accomodation was to be situated [View Full Entry]

Day 7 - Panna - Banhavgarh After the slight disappointment of Panna we headed of to Banhavgarh National Park for our first safari in seach of a tiger. This Park was alleged to have had around 70 tigers, so with a sense of anticipation we were picked up after breakfast and set off on our 7 hour journey in our minibus to the Mogli Jungle Resort. The journey was extremly bumpy and we all were very glad of the few stops we had along the way for lunch and toilet breaks where we could stretch our legs. When we arrived at [View Full Entry]

Day 8 - Bandhavgarh When we were awoken by our 4.30am wake up call, our room was still quite warm, as we had left off the air conditioning as it was too nosiy but left on the ceiling fan. When we went outside however, there was quite a nip in the air, and it was still dark, so another layer was in order. We had been wondering why we had been carrying fleeces round in 90deg heat for a week! After a cup of tea and a biscuit, we set off in open topped, open sided jeeps to the entrance which [View Full Entry]

Massive Spiders

Day 9 - Bandhavgarh - Kanha Another 4.30am start for the unlucky bus on another optional safari but after seeing the photo's and some video of tigers last night from the rest of our group we set of again determined to change our luck, By then we felt like we had seen all of the 12,000 spotted deer in the park. We also saw some wild boar and more huge spiders. We headed to the half way point as the tigers proved to be just as elusive as the previous day and our eyes had started playing tricks on us, so [View Full Entry]
