Mpofu,

The pictures are from a private property at Pivnia. In the same state as Bharatpur - the owner is a former Royal and a friend of mine. He is an infrequent visitor here and at the AR forums and does post occasionally. This is one of three lakes on his property and his old palace and hunting lodge have been converted into heritage resorts in Rajasthan.

While you were at Bandhavgarh, all tigers in Sariska were shot by poachers and 19 were poached at Ranthambhore. I would not at all be surprised if they ebcome extinct in India in the next decade. Sad and it makes me very angry at overall Indian incompetence, corruption and stupidity in preserving the country's wildlife.
