The jeep bumps out of the highway as scrub and low hills open into a patchwork of dry thorn forest and open grasslands. Early light slants across boulders and the silhouette of Ranthambore Fort looms above the canopy; birds argue over the last quiet pools while the forest floor warms. On a day trip from Jaipur you arrive with the expectation of sightings—tigers move like stories here, sometimes observed, often hinted at by pug marks and alarm calls.
