...'In the forests of the night, What immortal hand or eye, Could frame thy fearful symmetry' With these words from the 18th-century poet William Blake ringing in our ears ('symmetry' can be made to rhyme with 'eye' if you try!), we set forth from Rishikesh in the northern state of Uttarakhand on a journey of more than 1,000 kms (600 miles) south to Bandhavgarh National Park in Madhya Pradesh. ...

Once upon a time, I was something important in the UK travel industry, where I spent more than 35 years of my working life roaming the globe at someone else's expense. So, if you dream of living overseas on less than 10 Dollars a day, be warned: I'm an experienced, mature traveller - not a backpacker. You won't find stories here about me thumbing my way across the Sahara, slumming it in cockroach-infested hostels, or sharing a room with giant mosquitoes! Oh, and I'm British - so you can expect a stiff upper lip in times of adversity and a sense of humour that's often not understood by other... full info

So many tigers!
Wow, amazing that you got to see so many tigers in so many different situations, must have been truly amazing. I remember being there five years ago riding into the park every day with the canters that are so uncomfortable to sit on, and being prepared not to see a tiger. We felt so lucky when, on our last day, we got to see one taking a dip in a small pond. Thanks for sharing the story and photos!

Yes, four tigers!
I'm pleased this brought back some memories for you. We were incredibly lucky to see so many of these fabulous creatures. I think it says a lot for the skill and experience of Tigergarh's owner, Gagan, who insisted on accompanying us into the park each time. I've told him that I'll be coming back, but only on condition that he finds me some big male tigers next time - and, now you mention it, one taking a dip in some water would be good too!

Tyger, tyger and so much nature
What an an amazing experience. You've made me want to go back to India. And yes we will stay at Tigergarh.

I'd go back tomorrow!
Tigers - at last and so much other more wildlife too. If my beloved India wasn't such a vast country, I'd return to Bandhavgarh, its wildlife and its Tigergarh on the next available flight. Yes, I will go back there some day, but next on the list is Gujarat, its wild asses (snigger...) and the only remaining wild lions in Asia. Watch this space - for another 12 months or so!
