Sariska is currently working on a tiger re-introduction programme which was the subject of a BBC Natural World programme "Tiger Dynasty" which for 2 years followed the lives of Baghani and Rajore as they adjusted to their new territories and the attendant dangers of leopards and villagers. The flora and fauna and the beauty of this National Park are stunning and will reward your 2 days here.

Day 4 – After your final Sariska jeep safari and breakfast it will be time to continue your India Wildlife Tours to Ranthambore National Park. One of the biggest and most renowned parks in Northern India, it was formerly the hunting ground of the Maharajas of Jaipur. You will stay at Ranthambore for 2 nights with 4 jeep safaris. Ranthambore is one of the best locations to see tigers in their natural environment and although we cannot guarantee a tiger sighting we are sure that the experience of the jungle topography and the other flora and fauna will provide a wonderful experience and memories for years to come.
Overnight days 4 & 5 Welcom Heritage Hotel, Ranthambore
Day 6 – After your morning jeep safari it will be time to continue your tour to Bharatpur to visit the Keoladeo National Park bird sanctuary which is located between Jaipur and Agra. It was flooded in the 1850s to provide a duck shooting preserve for the Maharaja of Bharatpur and was established as a national park in 1982. Although most famous for its 380 species of migratory and resident birds it is also an excellent place to watch mammals such as Golden Jackals, Jungle Cat, Nilgai, Sambar, Blackbuck and Wild Boar. The park is relatively small (29 sq km) and has well defined tracks which can either be covered on foot or by hiring a cycle rickshaw. The rickshaw pullers are all trained bird watching and wildlife guides. Entry to the park is included in your tour.
Overnight day 6 Sunbird Inn, Bharatpur
