Ranthambore National Park.

Ranthambore is a renowned national park located in the Sawai Madhopur district of Rajasthan, India. It's one of the largest and most famous national parks in the country, known for its rich wildlife and historical significance. Today, I joined an early morning safari to experience the wildlife and to see if I could spot a tiger.

• As we passed these branches sticking up, I quickly took a photo, thinking it was full of birds. On closer inspection, I realised only a couple of them were birds. The rest were huge leaves.

• As we were leaving Ranthambore National Park, our guide pointed out a leopard on the hill above us. My phone camera would only show a smudge on the hilltop, but Kirsty got a better photo with her camera, and I added it to my distant photo.

Ranthambore Fort.

Ranthambore Fort is a historic fortress located within the Ranthambore National Park, near the city of Sawai Madhopur in Rajasthan. The fort is believed to have been built during the 5th century by the Yadava ruler Maharaja Jayant. It has witnessed numerous battles and has been ruled by various dynasties, including the Chauhans, Delhi Sultanate, and Mughals. The fort is strategically located on a hill, providing a panoramic view of the surrounding national park. It was a significant stronghold due to its elevated position and formidable defences.

The fort houses several temples, including the famous Ganesha Temple. In 2013, Ranthambore Fort, along with five other forts of Rajasthan, was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site as part of the group Hill Forts of Rajasthan.

I had booked an optional escorted tour to the Ranthambore Fort this afternoon, but our tour guide advised me that it would be too much for me to do, so I took his advice and didn't go on the trip to the fort. Instead, I stayed at the hotel, took it easy, and wandered around the hotel gardens and swimming pool.
