The class embarked on the trip by the Jaipur super fast express. We alighted at Sawai Madhopur railway station in the morning at 10 o'clock and took an air-conditioned bus to 'Tiger Wood Resort' at Ranthambore. After a quick shower and a healthy lunch, we left for evening tiger safari in two canters. On our return a small bonfire was arranged accompanied by Rajasthani folk music and a puppet show, the day being 14th Nov, Children's Day.

Early next morning, we again left for a morning jungle safari. The experience of driving through the jungle and experiencing the sights and sounds of nature was an experience in itself. We came back to our cottages, had our lunch and left for Jaipur the same day by bus. It was almost 5 o'clock in the evening when we reached Jaipur. We were delayed due to heavy traffic. The children were provided accommodation at 'Maharani Palace Hotel' with four of them in a room. After a late lunch, shower and a power point presentation by tour operator about the history of Jaipur, we left for Choki Dhani around 7.30 P.M. It was an exhilarating experience to blend with Rajasthani culture and get a taste of traditional Rajasthani food. We retired to bed after a healthy, filling and nutritious dinner.

We had a sight seeing trip of city palace, Jaipur, in the morning. In the evening we went to visit the magnificent Jantar-mantar, the museum and the abode of the present maharaja. We were lucky to get a glimpse of the present king, Shri Bhavani Singh. After a hectic day out we were treated to lovely food and were rejuvenated by a live music concert of ghazals.

On the day of our return journey, we visited the Birla temple and a famous Ganesh temple in the morning. The guides provided did an excellent job of imparting information at Ranthambore and Jaipur. A beautiful journey did come to an end but its memories will be cherished forever.
