The family went on a jeep safari in the park during the afternoon. They spotted Royal Bengal Tigers along with several other wild animals such as rhinos, elephants, and buffaloes.
“I saw a golden tiger... it was a great experience. A rhino also crossed in front of us. Our experience was very good,” PTI quoted him as saying.
The family visited the Western Bagori range in the morning and the Central Kohora range in the afternoon. At Kohora, they spotted a tiger walking through the jungle, along with another magnificent animal also from the feline family.
