The 200 year old Bagh hotel in Bharatpur is special place. I was amazed by the serene and peaceful feeling it possessed. The white sandstone buildings, inlaid marble floors, open verandas, hand made furniture, Mughal architecture, and 10 acres of exceptional gardens, chirpping of birds, and excellent vegetarian restaurant made we wish I was staying longer.
After exploring the grounds and an hour rest, I was met by my guide, who studied the ecosystem here for 15 years, and walked 2 hours around the World Heritage listed bird sanctuary of Keoladeo Ghana National Park. It was amazing to see so many birds, deer, and other animals every ten feet. (picture 3) There are 350 species of birds, and 5o species of mammals. We stayed for the sunset which was reflected on the ponds with so many animals and birds in the foreground (picture4). What a day!!!!

Depart at 6:30am to return to the National Park for the same walk which is different in the light of the sunrise (picture5) . Return to the hotel for breakfast and a hot bath. At noon leave for the 6 hr drive to Jaipur, the pink city.

Since I am changing hotels so often, I have a system of putting my things in the same place at each location in order not to loose things.
