Imagine this. You are driving along a dirt road tracking this big royal creature. You are goose pimply as you follow its progress in the bushy undergrowth alongside. And then-you hear that deep throated growl. She is too close for comfort. Will she choose to pounce or just disappear into the dusk? With palpable tension in the air you freeze-as the tigress chooses to pad her way right in front of the jeep!
Just a picture of the Royal Bengal tiger sunning itself in the wild can make your eyes go wide. How would you like to see the same from atop an elephant's back? Top safari parks in India can make this possible.
However, before you start your journey into the wilderness, you must remember that tigers in India are on a decline. Poaching, the biggest threat for these magnificent creatures, have left very few tigers alive in India. So, consider yourself lucky if you get to spot one!
