There is a campaign started by #RajasthanTourism & #RajasthanForests where they want you to post a selfie taken in Rajasthan’s wilderness. I am not a selfie person but let’s show them my favourite wilderness in Rajasthan - Ranthambhore. It looks stunning before dawn
Mind blowing at sunrise
Just beautiful later in the morning
Great even in the afternoon
And I don’t have words for it in the evening
The bad part in wilderness are usually the roads but I wouldn’t call this an eyesore
And these roads sometimes lead to a rather large sized cat. #RajasthanForests rock - why are you not here
This was shot in infrared hence the unreal colours

Meet a tigress called Arrowhead from Ranthambhore. This picture is from 2015 when she was still a cub. Her brother Pac-Man is running behind -(I named him after a Pac-Man video game mark on his head). It’s story time
Arrowhead, Pac-Man and another sister called Lightning were born to a legendary tigress called Krishna or T19 her official number, in early 2014. The four of them crossing the ‘land bridge’ on Rajbagh lake here in summers of 2014
By the year 2016 Arrowhead had established her range around the lakes - an area gifted to her by Krishna who captured a new territory and had another litter there. The lakes were no Arrowhead’s

On #WorldTourismDay let me tell you about my favourite place on this planet - the area of the three lakes in Ranthambhore national park. It’s a stunning place. I will take a few minutes of your time but it may brighten up your day. 🙏

The overall backdrop is stunning because of a plus 1000 years old UNESCO World Heritage site Hill fort from which the park gets it name. It’s just too imposing. #Rajasthan Image
There are lots of pretty places but few where our countries glorious ancient past mixes with raw nature is such a mind blowing manner. Hundreds of years ago people actually prayed in this mosque. Monuments here are a classic mix of Rajput and Mughal architecture #IncredibleIndia Image

Since leopards of Chambal are show stoppers these days courtesy @manishariprasad - Here is a leopard from Ranthambhore which for those who didn’t know touched River Chambal.
Ranthambhore has a very high density of leopards though most visitors don’t see much of them. This is because tigers kill them and to stay safe the smaller cat tends to stay in areas that tigers don’t frequent like steep slopes, hill tops etc. This is a typical sight here.
Leopards in Ranthambhore are not comfortable in the valleys which is prime tiger territory. But they do have to come down to valleys esp in summers when water is short at heights. Often they would do this at the hottest time when tigers are inactive like this one at noon

Pictures of common birds from a tiny sanctuary that we call home. We bought a barren piece of land to build our house on and are slowly trying to turn it into a mini sanctuary. All these pictures are from within our compound. #IndiAves #TribeIndiAves
It’s easy to do and great fun. Every new species that we see is a ‘major discovery’ for us
It soon becomes a pretty cool outdoor studio for lazy blokes like me. No carrying heavy equipment over rough tracks cause we can shoot with a beer glass in one hand. Makes life easier

Nothing to see here just a Banyan tree
Ficus benghalensis - remember the name. In my opinion a poster tree of India
It’s widely believed that the word ‘baniya’ comes from this tree. This may or may not be true - just don’t bring it up in front of my in laws

Let me tell you a sad story from 12 years ago. A story that had a huge impact on me. A story about two tigers that were poisoned on the outskirts of Ranthambhore.
I was called as one of the two independent eye witnesses by the Deputy Field Director of Ranthambhore to follow some ridiculous protocol. If you want details of the event - they are here

How it effected me - One man with accomplices poisoned a goat carcass that two sub adult tigers had killed and then left it for them to eat, which they did two days later. A few hours later they died miserably
