Apparently there are now more than 60 tigers in the park.  The number is becoming so large that there is talk or relocating some of the tigers to other parks in this area.  Since tigers are territorial you can only have so many tigers on one area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting there<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to get here is to take a train to Sawai Madhopur station.  Since you cannot stay in the park, this town is the closest place to stay.  It&#8217;s quite small and very peaceful comparing to large Indian cities like Delhi and Agra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.cowell.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/MVIMG_20191216_152330-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-373\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.cowell.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/MVIMG_20191216_152330-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.cowell.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/MVIMG_20191216_152330-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.cowell.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/MVIMG_20191216_152330-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.cowell.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/MVIMG_20191216_152330-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.cowell.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/MVIMG_20191216_152330-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/blog.cowell.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/MVIMG_20191216_152330-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Unlike these people, I would suggest that you get a reserved seat<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.cowell.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/MVIMG_20191216_172350-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-374\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.cowell.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/MVIMG_20191216_172350-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.cowell.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/MVIMG_20191216_172350-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.cowell.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/MVIMG_20191216_172350-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.cowell.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/MVIMG_20191216_172350-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.cowell.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/MVIMG_20191216_172350-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/blog.cowell.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/MVIMG_20191216_172350-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>These cows may be afraid of missing the train.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do you actually see tigers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>From what I have been told &#8211; yes.

I would suggest wearing layers so that you can take clothes off if it gets too warm.  The hotel provided me with a blanket which was handy.  There are two options for a tour &#8211; jeeps which hold up to 6 people (although mine only had 4)  and canters (basically I big flat bed truck with seats) which seems to hold 20+ people.  I took the jeep and it was nice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The search for tigers Ranthambore National Park is famous for Tigers.
