This website is the result of a long-standing personal interest in tigers — an interest that, over time, began to be reflected in my daughter. Here is the story of how it all began.
This website is the result of a long-standing personal interest in tigers — an interest that, over time, I began to see reflected in my daughter. Over the past few months, I found myself trying to answer increasingly detailed questions about tigers: their behaviour, decision-making, family relationships, territorial dynamics, and hypothetical "what if" situations. Many of these questions do not have definitive answers — not because they are irrelevant, but because they fall into the large grey areas of animal behaviour that remain poorly understood.
In trying to explore these questions, I discovered that even widely available resources struggle once the discussion moves beyond surface-level facts. What remains is a patchwork of observations, partial documentation, and long-term patterns — none of which are easy to access in one place. This project began as an attempt to bring some structure to those conversations.
Ranthambore was chosen because it is the forest we return to most often, and because few places in the world offer such long-term documentation of individual tigers and their family lines across multiple generations. The outcome is secondary. The learning is the thing.
The team
Staying close to the park gates is important for early morning safaris. Options range from basic guesthouses to luxury tented camps.
A great naturalist guide transforms a safari from a drive into a deep education. The best guides know individual tigers by sight and can read the jungle's signals.
We recommend a minimum of 3 nights — giving you 4–5 safari slots. More days significantly improves sighting chances.
Safari permits through the Rajasthan Forest Department portal or authorised operators. Zones assigned at booking.
