Tiger Surprise

We're currently in Ranthambore National Park, which substituted for a failed trip to Simlipal National Park in Orissa. And what would've been a waterfall visit to Barehipani Falls and Joranda Falls (which was thwarted due to Maoist insurgencies) ended up being our very first sighting of a wild tiger - a royal bengal tiger to be exact.

She was called the Lady of the Lake because she's the oldest and largest tiger in the park. Not bad for a first time safari in India.

Still no waterfalling to report. But we hope that'll change in a couple of days when we go to Meghalaya. Stay tuned...
