Have been visiting Tiger National Parks in India for about 10 years now and have had some fantastic opportunities to photograph female/ sub adult tigers. Have always wanted to photograph a male tiger as they are so elusive compared to females and cubs. Had a lovely encounter with this dominant male, he literally blocked the whole road and put up quite a show for about 2 hours!!!

When we were there a few years ago, we went out to look for tigers on 3 successive mornings. We heard one roar, and we briefly saw the rear end of one disappearing into the woods, but that was it. We did see a Sloth bear as a consolation prize though. You were lucky!

Yeah, is is quite challenging to spot a tiger in Indian forests. The key is to do at least 8-10 safaris. I have always been blessed with tiger sightings at Ranthambore but then I make it a point to do at least 8-10 safaris every time I visit.
