Tigerwalah- The Enchanting Tale

Tigerwalah is a love story. It’s a story of my romance with the wilderness that started just as I was stepping into my teenage and visited Ranthambore for the first time. I was smitten and fascinated-even without a tiger in sight for me! Time flew by, and I moved along, finding a well-paying corporate job and a very urbane life. Never for a moment, though, was I able to forget my first love of the wild and craved to go back. With the first available opportunity, I ended up planning a safari holiday to Ranthambore, only to renew the ties and fall in even deeper love with the place. Tigers, however, kept eluding me for long. In the summer of 2007, I saw the majestic Machli along with her latest litter, and I knew I could never go back. Off went the successful corporate career eventually, and Tigerwalah was born in February 2010. The motive was to address the need to provide credible park and tiger information to visitors, followers and tiger lovers across the globe-my humble contribution to the cause of the striped cat. Today, this beautiful love story continues with Tigerwalah transforming itself into an enthusiastic Indian wildlife safari partner in bringing the many joys of the jungle to the peace-deprived city dwellers. By giving people a much-needed respite from the stressful urban lifestyle, sharing my love and passion for the wilderness has never been more rewarding. Cheers to the love of the Wild!

Dynamic Drives

Our primary motive was to provide credible park and tiger information to everyone concerned, and we were never deterred from it. Considering the same, we conceptualized and designed the first-ever tiger database and tracking software for Ranthambore Tiger Reserve along with Forest Department. This database acts as an information repository for all Ranthambore tigers, dead or alive, capturing their important life history moments and tracking the movement of tourism zone tigers daily. This is the first such web-based database in India that captures the head profiles of all individual tigers apart from the left and right flanks.

We have also been actively monitoring activities at Ranthambore, including gender identification and aging of cubs, stripe mark identification etc. Having improvised and tested successfully for the last three years, we will soon expand the scope of this database to other Tiger Parks in the country. All this is done to help our clients make the most of their safari experience!
