So, thought I should elaborate a little more on yesterday, as some other things did happen other than the tiger, tiger, tiger....... Also on safari, we did see some jackal, one with a cub, 2 different types of vulture and a mongoose. We also passed the most amazing painted temple, which was set in the side of a mountain leading up to the safari park. After arriving back and checking out of the hotel, we embarked on a 5 hour journey to Jaipur. It was fantastic! iP...

Considering how great it is on the outside, the tombs of Shah Jahan and Mu...

First train ride in India, pleasantly surprised! Not too different from the UK but with tea and coffee! Did however see the cattle class section when we got off, which was exactly that, lots of people packed into small carriages behind barred windows! Got to hotel number 2, more luxury, not sure I can get used to this, strangely I preferred the tents and dodgy hotels in Nepal, feels more authentic. Afternoon was spent walking into the local village, which was ch...
