years old, stands at the highest point. There is a temple at the fort that

inscriptions. The ramparts of the fort provide a home for vultures, blue
rock thrushes and crag martins.

ingenuous system of tracking the tiger at this Park. Every day, early in the
morning, elephants and their "Mahouts" (drivers) are sent out into
the jungle, in search of the Tiger. Once it has been sighted, a radio
message is flashed to the Forest Ranger, who in turn informs the visitors in
their jeeps, who are then taken on elephant-back, into the bush, to see the
elusive Tiger.
