Each safari is looking for a tiger. If you were a tiger would you come out of the bushes with this many people waiting for you?

Jungle where the tigers had been spotted earlier.

We saw several tigers but this was the best photo I was able to get. Shortly after an overeager driver moved in for a close look and the tiger went back into the jungle.

Me, trying to get a better view by standing on the roof of the jeep.

The sign says "Don't step on the brown." They are honest at this golf course!

The tour guide was afraid I was going to fall off and down the hill.

The house has several bee hives built in so that fresh honey can be gathered without going outside.

The traditional wooden houses near Jageshwar. Hay is stored on trees. It's easier than building a barn!
