keoladeo national park

On Monday we left Jaipur and traveled four hours to Bharatpur, home to Keoladeo National Park. Formerly a hunting grounds for the British colonizers, it is now a bird sanctuary that hosts as many as 400 species, depending on the time of the year. I rode with Cat in a bicycle rickshaw, pedaled by a very capable guide, and we were amazed by how many species of birds and other wildlife we observed in just a few hours of touring the park. A few pictures of what we saw are up on my gallery.
