This was a grueling 5 hour drive over a very rutted dirt and occasionally paved road and TOTALLY worth it as we saw parts of India American tourists rarely see.
Norbert saw 3 tigers on safari our second day which is very unusual as there are 10 zones to choose from and on a given day the group traveling on one MAY see a tiger. Norbert saw a mother and her two teen children so we left the park a day before we planned.
Daskar is one of the cooperatives set up for local women to sell their handicrafts to help lift them out of poverty

| No animals are fenced. all roam freely. I asked how people knew whose was whose. I was told they have "GPS" and return home each morning and night to be milked. While there is pickpocketing in the cities, there seems to be no theft in the countryside. All kinds of things are left in the open. Of course there is really no place to lock anything up. |

| Mixed reaction to my camera. Most in the country are fascinated by a white face and love it when I wave to them |
 |
| While many men sit around in groups and talk, the women labor HARD! |
