NPM-DVD-138 - Around five kilometres beyond the city of Bharatpur is one of the most fascinating wildlife reserves on the Indian subcontinent, Keoladeo Ghana. Accompanied by the park's experienced guides, the first leg of our journey travels across a well-worn route to Python Point that, due to its population of Tiger Pythons, most assuredly lives up to its name. Despite the picturesque landscape the local maharajas were more interested in the region's wildlife, especially the population of wild duck In the middle of the 19th century the maharajahs recognized the merits of this newly created habitat and officially declared it to be their very own hunting grounds. Unlike today, the numerous water birds of Keoladeo Ghana were not protected but instead were hunted for sport. The park's varied scenery is quite remarkable. Low-lying forests, shrubberies, swampland and savannah-like grasslands influence the external appearance of this fascinating nature reserve. In the north east of the park the dry forests consist mainly of the babul tree, a unique variety of acacia tree, and rose apple. For many visitors the remoteness of the park is in stark contrast to life in India's lively, noisy and hectic cities. However, this world famous bird sanctuary is located close to civilization and also to a good network of roads. Yet motor vehicles are few and far between in Keoladeo Ghana where the bicycle rickshaw is the most common means of transport. Few bird sanctuaries in the world provide visitors with such a variety of bio-diversity and scenic beauty as does the Keoladeo National Park.

EXT-DVD-16 - RAJPUTANA Land Of Kings Almost no other region in India combines the glory of the past with the exotic nature of the terrain as impressively as Rajasthan. In recent years the full splendour of the palace hotels of the Rajputes has been fully revived. The City Palace has changed little over the past hundred years and part of the building is still used as a residence by the royal family. The Palace Of The Winds, Hawa Mahal, is the most popular tourist destination in Jaipur as it typifies the romantic Western notion of exotic India. The Laxmi Vilas Palace Hotel is an ideal location from which to observe the region's birdlife. Surrounded by meadows and yet still only three kilometres from the historic centre of Bharatpur, the hotel has both a rural and urban ambience. To experience what it's like to be a king is to experience the Samode Palace, an award-winning hotel that has frequently been ranked among the top ten hotels in the world. The sheer unadulterated pleasure of spending a night in the Lake Palace Hotel in Udaipur does not come cheap. However, the breathtaking splendour of its seventy-seven rooms and seventeen suites is well worth the price tag! The exceptional palace hotels of the Rajputes along with all the incomparable charm and unique atmosphere of a golden epoch, take those who come here back to a time of supreme grandeur and superlative luxury.
