The first tranport from the Taj Mahal hotel - a large Qualis. Rather cold in the front nice in the middle and boling at the rear. Look carefully at how fresh we all look!

Everyone looks full of life at the start of our 5km trek up the hill to our hotel.

The train which we thought wasnt running heads towards Sham and Bryan. Later we found out that it was not running for visitors so the walk up was not in vain.

We did not ride on any of the horses - instead it was by foot that we ventured into the forest.

We went back to Mumbai on the train. We took second class tickets at Rs15 each (20p) for the 90 minute journey. It was certainly an new experience!
