Agra and Tiger Reserve

Hi All,
After Dehli we travelled south to Agra to see the red fort and the Taj Mahal. Both were absolutely amazing and well worth the Rs750 entry fee. From the red fort we got a stunning view of the Taj Mahal and it was also a good adventure looking around the many rooms and corridors. The Taj Mahal is the highlight of the tour so far. There is a no drive zone around the site, so the only way of getting there was a 5 min walk, camel ride or rickshaw. Words can't really describe the Taj Mahal, I feel that the only way of understanding how beautiful it is, is to see it in person.

After a long 7 hour drive down narrow bumpy roads, we arrived at Rathambore National Tiger reserve. Next morning we woke up at 5am to go out on a jeep safari. As the jeep was open top it was really cold in the morning due to the sunlight not reaching the valleys. In the 3 hours we were in the park, we managed to spot monkeys, deer, peacocks, a crocodile, many types of rare birds and most importantly a TIGER. Apparently it was lucky to have seen a tiger in the little time we had.

We have just arrived in Jaipur (the pink city), hope everyone is well.
