Explore the rocky hills of Rajasthan in search of one of earth's most magnificent creatures.
According to the, there are only about 3,900 wild tigers in the entire world. Some 60 to 62 of them roam within the 400-square-kilometer core of India's Ranthambore National Park in the state of Rajasthan.
Each of the 40 gypsies and open-sided canters must be accompanied by an English-speaking guide, though what matters most is their ability to track a tiger."It's partly luck, yes, but the tracking skills of the driver and the guide can make a huge difference," Maira says. While the elusive tiger is what draws people to Ranthambore, visitors are equally as lucky to encounter an evasive caracal — a lithe cat with a flamboyant tuft of hair on its head — or a leopard or sloth bear. Sambar deer, wild pigs, and peacocks, on the other hand, are ubiquitous.While Maira is a wildlife lover, she's drawn to Ranthambore for other reasons too — its remoteness, serenity and the haunting beauty of its 10th-century fort, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
