Ranthambore Tiger Reserve

No Tigers but some great times with some great people at Ranthambore Tiger Reserve.  Saw some tracks and even had a crazy ride in the open-air jeep at mach 3 trying to take advantage of a sighting in the park

We went looking for tigers and found only tiger food.  Oh well, fun time had by all!

To Rishikesh and Beyond!

Rafting, Hiking, Climbing and Relaxing.  What a way to spend a four-day weekend up in Himalayas. On Thursday morning we hopped an early train up to Hardiwar and then drove up to Snowleopard Adventure camp where we spent 4 days and three nights in a tent on the side of the Holy Ganga (Ganges) River.

The Train to Hardiwar

The camp was wonderful!

The Camp

The girls found many things to do while we were at camp.  The staff was wonderful and interacted with the girls a lot.  So nice to not have "screen time" for a few days.

AES in 'da House

We went white water rafting the first three days and had a blast!

The Camp also had a climbing wall a short walk from our tents

On Saturday we went into Rishikesh to attend a Hindu Ceremony called Ganga Aarti on the banks of the Ganges.

Indian Teletubbies?

Here are a couple videos we took.  We are really not good at this:

After breakfast on our last morning we hiked to a small village with no road access.
