There is nothing like setting out to see Indian wildlife from elephant back on a chilly morning.
Here I am in Bandhavgarh National Park again. It is such an honor to be among these big cats in the wild. To travel on the backs of elephants into the bush is to travel back in time. Coming upon a tiger is like nothing else and each time it is still immensely exciting.

I love India and will be posting images throughout my travels, so stay tuned.

Here is a previous post with photos of tigers from a visit to Ranthambore National Park. >>CLICK HERE
