| Page Views: 220 Last Visit to Sawai Madhopur: December, 2005 I Visit Here Frequently | Sawai Madhopur - on our way to Ranthambore by lynnehamman - last update: Mar 26, 2009 |
We were on our way to Ranthambore National Park, and this quiet, dusty little town is the nearest railhead. We spent just a few hours walking around, and because we were both tired, and anxious to get to Ranthambore, we did not really see much of Sawai. A few impressions that I have are : There seemed to many little shops, tucked away, and they ALL seemed to be selling those steel waterpots that Rajasthani women balance gracefully on there heads, while maintaining the perfect posture these women seem to have perfected. The roads and paths were dusty, but well-swept and clean. We saw two banks, that had ATMs. Motorcycles everywhere. |
|  | The Railway Station was small, but clean, and had a decent waiting room. The taxi stand is right outside, and Autorickshaws wait for passengers as the train arrives. |

JLBG Tue Oct 13, 2009 06:22 UTC It is great that animals are now protected from hunting but of course it is harder for tigers with occasional poachers making a lot of money. I understand that you had great meals! Great page! | Trekki Fri Oct 2, 2009 05:31 UTC I fully share your thoughts about hunting and am happy that they provide living ground for tigers and other animals (fingers crossed that the bribing stops at a point in time). Ah, and yes, I would also sit on top of the roof in the evening :-) | goutammitra Tue May 19, 2009 13:21 UTC Another good page from you. Please add more tips on animals and on Ranmthambore. Shooting of tigers was one of the favourite past time those day macho sports, many participated. That's how we have dwindling wild animal population her besides corruption. | ranger49 Fri May 1, 2009 17:27 UTC A grand night out Here! GoodTips all round. |
