One
can almost sense a life of the wilderness, as the Palace-on-Wheels
arrives in Sawai Madhopur, a city named after its founder Maharaja Sawai
Madho Singh I. After breakfast a visit is arranged to the Ranthambhor
National Park, wherein are located the ruins of a 10th century fort.
This wildlife sanctuary is considered to be the country's best for
observing and photographing the activities of the tiger. The park,
covering an area of 392 sq. kms. is home to more than 300 species of
birds. The tiger, hyena, rate, jackal and fox are among those
constituting the carnivorous population here. Sawai Madhopur is known
for its excusive toys, ethnic ornaments and costumes. Upon return to the
Palace-on-Wheels, you leave for Chittaurgarh, when one gets an
opportunity to watch the colourful countryside passing by in the
daylight. |

Udaipur,
the Lake City, was founded by Maharana Udai Singh of Mewar, after the
Sisodia dynasty was driven way by the Mughals, in 1559A.D. Perhaps the
two most beautiful sites of Udaipur are the dream-like marble palaces-
the Jag Niwas (Lake Palace) and the Jag Mandir, which appear to rise
from the blue waters of Lake Pichhola. After lunch at a Five Star Hotel,
a visit to the City Palace. |
