Tiger, Leopard & Camel Safaris at Royal Rajasthan
Ranthambhore * Udaipur * Jawai * Jodhpur * Jaisalmer (10 nights/11 days)
The world of wildlife enthusiasts will be eternally grateful to Fateh Singh Rathore for having turned a degraded tiger forest overrun by humans into a wildlife reserve of international repute. It initially served as a hunting area of the royals of Jaipur. Post-independence, it was required to implement the National Forest Policy which required legal protection besides conservation of the flora and fauna. In 1973, Project Tiger, was launched by the Government of India.
