Tigers in the Emerald Forest: Ranthambhore After the Monsoon

This book is about the very special ‘post monsoon’ period of Ranthambhore National Park, which in 2011 received a record 1,200 mm of rain. Having known Ranthambhore for more than 35 years, Valmik Thapar was amazed at the monsoon magic writ large all over the park. The forest had turned green in days, and all the dry streambeds were literally brimming with water. The monsoon downpour made Ranthambhore look like an ‘emerald forest’. Thapar takes us on a journey over the first days of October 2011 as the Park appeared to erupt in a burst of green teeming with life and with its incredible tigers. Captured almost moment to moment, the close to 200 colour photographs weave a story perhaps best experienced in motion pictures.
