GEOGRAPHY & NATURAL HISTORY Delhi Delhi is India’s capital city and is a metropolitan urban space while retaining old world charm with buildings dating back to the 1600s. It is bordered by Haryana on three sides and by Uttar Pradesh on the east. The Yamuna is the only major river flowing through the city of Delhi. It is one of the most densely populated cities and is home to many cultures. It houses exemplary contemporary artistic influences while also having sprawling Mughal & Turkish architectural marvels including the Red Fort, Qutub Minar, Humayun’s tomb & Jama Masjid, India’s largest mosque. Delhi is also known for its bazaars where shopping can be a never ending activity! Agra Agra is a city in the state of Uttar Pradesh and is built on the banks of the Yamuna river. It was put on the world map with the construction of grand Mughal buildings, including the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and Fatehpur Sikri, all of which are UNESCO World Heritage sites. Agra also hosts a number of cultural fairs and festivals- Taj Mahotsav, Ram Barat, Kailash Fair and the Taj Literature Fest, to name a few. Jaipur Jaipur is the capital city of Rajasthan and is a bustling place with many bazaars and old building structures. It is home to two UNESCO World Heritage sites- the Jantar Mantar and the Amer fort. It is known as the pink city owing to its many old buildings built with the trademark colour shade of pink. Jaipur is rich in arts- both performing arts and visual aesthetics. It also hosts the Jaipur Literature fest. Ranthambore National Park The National Park sprawls languidly across 824 sq. km. of contiguous, dry-deciduous forests where the rolling Vindhya and craggy Aravalli Hills meet. The park lies at the edge of a plateau and is bounded in the north by the Banas river and to the south by the Chambal river. The park’s forests were once the private hunting grounds of the Maharajas of Jaipur, but today Ranthambhore is a prime example of Project Tiger’s conservation efforts and is an important destination for visitors hoping to see the Bengal tiger in its natural habitat. Other major fauna include Leopard, Jungle Cat, Caracal, Sloth Bear, Hyena, Indian Fox, Jackal, Sambar and spotted deer, Nilgai and wild boar. Over 260 species of birds are reported. Marsh crocodiles are found in the lakes and river and the endangered Gharial and Gangetic river Dolphin is found in the Chambal river. The area is peppered with old crumbling walls, ruined pavilions, wells and other relics of a glorious past, including the impressive 10th century Ranthambhore fort.
