Hi Mark,
Have just come back form Gujarat and I can recommend
http://www.campsofindia.com/
who have a lodge adjacent Gir Forest where I managed 21 Asiatic Lions and 1
Leopard!
The owners are keen on wildlife experiences and can maybe offer some
experiences that will suit a non-believer! Try them through this site too:
http://www.thesafaricompanyindia.com/ which will give some tours. Best thing
about using one company is you only have one company to talk to;-)
If you do decide to use them let me know as I had the pleasure of meeting the
owner and you never know when a free samosa and unlimited pappadams will come
in handy;-) If interested I can ask the owner for specifics on Sloth bear, etc.
I know he has Tiger at Khana which may be substantially more 'real' than
Ranthambore where I am told the entrance road resembles the strip at Surfers
with new hotels!
We are hoping he will become one of the first Indian users of Wildiaries and
see the following for first examples of Indian pages:
http://in.mammals.wildiaries.com
&
http://in.birds.wildiaries.com
Please remember they are test sites up to now.
Very best
Alan

Hi Birders,
I had two Spotless Crake calling and strutting around at Ilparpa Swamp
(nr.Alice Springs) from the roadside on Sunday at dusk. Location is on
Wildiaries http://bit.ly/i0hZEk If anyone is headed that way keep an eye out
for them and let me know how you get on.
I'm headed over to India in January so I'm wondering if anyone on this list as
any up to date recommendations they'd like to share on the following topics:
Birding and recommended birding guides around Goa & Rajasthan.Sites to find
Sloth Bear.Sites to find Tiger (ideally not a cheesy 'canned-sighting' trip-
I'd prefer to hunt all day for it!).Sites to find River Dolphin.Sites to find
Rhino.Birder-friendly accommodation.
As I'll be travelling with a non-birder, tips for destinations with other
attractions will be especially welcome!
Cheers
Mark Carter
