It was a nation wide mission which was started to ensure the safety of tigers along with the eco system. Ranthambore is the smallest sanctuary under this project but later on, it was proved to be the best one to save the tigers from as well as for Ranthambore Tiger Safari.

Apart from being a best home for many wild lives, Ranthambore is also famous for its heritage and major tourist attraction during their Rajasthan Tour Packages because of many wonderful constructions and monuments scattered all through the park.

New York Limos Not Just For Business Anymore
If you know New York City, you know that there's only one way to get around that magnificent metropolis in style, and that's by limo. A luxury NYC car service is where it's at if you want to pamper yourself, your guests, your business associates or your friends and family. New York limousines will get you anywhere you want to go, and they are not just for business anymore.
When most people think of limos, they picture a stretched Cadillac or Lincoln. Those, and especially Lincoln stretch limos, are still very popular and make up a good percentage of the cars in many limo fleets. However, these days you can also get other luxury cars like Mercedes Benz S-Class or BMW 7-Series sedans. The leading New York limo services also cater to those who prefer the size and comfort of luxury SUVs like Lincoln Navigators and Cadillac Escalades. In addition, SUVs come in stretched versions with a Cadillac Stretch Extended Sport Vehicle seating 18 and the ultra-prestigious Stretch Hummer seating 20! If headroom is a primary issue, limo vans and buses fit the bill. They can seat between 7 and 19 passengers in comfort. New York car service can even provide armored vehicles. Though they may look just like a regular Lincoln Town Car or Cadillac Escalade, they provide the ultimate protection.
Another misconception about limos is that they are just for wealthy business executives. Sure, business has long been taking advantage of the comfort, reliability, safety and professionalism of New York limo service for airport transportation and pickup or driving clients in style. But today's premier limo companies have greatly extended their service offerings and branched out into new fields.
One increasingly popular service is New York limo excursions where a driver who is also a tour guide picks you up at your hotel for a sightseeing trip. Refreshments are included, and tours are available in many languages. If you plan a night on the town, what better way to go than rent an elegant limo with its own bar. No need to put up with cabs or designated drivers; the limo service does it all, and you'll be envied wherever you go. Take some friends to a ballgame? Get a limo and avoid the hassles of parking and traffic. Planning a wedding? Limos mean there is one less thing to worry about, and the wedding party arrives and leaves in grand style and comfort.
If you haven't been in a limo lately you're in for a surprise. Whether it's riding in a late model luxury car, in the complete privacy of a stretch limo, or the plush, spacious interior of a limo bus, you're in for a treat. Whether it's large flat-screen TVs, multi-disk digital DJ systems, surround sound, mood lighting, bars, or even hardwood floors and fish tanks, there's almost nothing that's not available to increase your riding pleasure and convenience.
So whether you've had it with cabs, plan an event, need to impress a client, or simply want to make sure you get there safely and reliably, Mew York limousine service is the way to go. It's more affordable than you think, and with all the stress in life today, you deserve a break.

Fishing Lovers Flock to Baja California, Mexico
Known for its enormous amounts of blue, black, and striped marlin, sailfish, dorado, wahoo, yellowfin tuna, roosterfish and more, Mexico sportfishing has become a favorite pastime of fishing and adventure enthusiasts worldwide. This ain't your normal, relaxing fishing trip folks. Sportfishing Cabo San Lucas is in a league all on its own. Definitely not for the faint of heart. And the holy grail of a catch, the blue marlin, is in high supply in the infamous Sea of Cortez. In fact the largest one caught last year weighed over half a ton! Bring the wife and kiddies, they'll have a great time too. Most of the resorts in Baja are wonderful vacation spots, with recreational experiences all are sure to enjoy. Snorkeling, diving, tennis, golf, aviaries, horseback riding, and much more. Many travel accommodations have special fishing packages which include airfare, hotel, and fishing charters on huge boats with mostly English speaking crews and at reasonable costs. Many hotels also offer special packaging, shipping, or smoking of your catch. Deep sea fishing in Los Cabos Mexico and the Sea of Cortez is an experience you will never forget. Think about the stories you'll be able to tell, wrestling a 500 pound marlin on a huge luxury charter, out in the warm waters of beautiful Baja. Sounds pretty nice.

Cruise Destinations
When someone thinks about cruises, they often think about the balmy beaches of the Caribbean or Hawaii. However, there are lots of other places that people do not often think of that are great places to go on cruises. Cruises are not just for beach side relaxing, but can be used for all kinds of other expeditions in all different types of climates, and even some beach front places that you would not ordinarily think of. Here are outlined some beautiful cruise vacation destinations that you would not ordinarily plan in to your itinerary.
The Greek islands are a beautiful vacation spot, and while they are definitely not left off of people's vacation agendas, they are not very often associated with the idea of cruises. However, they are a beautiful spot to not only to relax and enjoy the ocean and beaches, but they are also a wealth of rich cultural heritage and amazing ancient architecture. The native people are incredibly hardworking and friendly, and spending a day exploring among the sea side villages would be a great way to meet different types of people and get to know a little bit about yourself as well. Of course, there is also the added bonus of the amazing traditional Greek food.
Northern Africa is home to a lot of cruises, from Libya to Egypt to Morocco. These cruises boast not only beautiful luxurious accommodations on board the ships, but also on the land. These cruises also offer a variety of cultural experiences for the adventurous and even the not so adventurous. Archaeological guides take guests through the ruins of ancient civilizations and to renovated castles that now provide plush accommodations for passengers while on the land. Taking in the local marketplaces is a great place to buy souvenirs, instead of gift shops or on the cruise boat itself.
Antarctica is a place that you would definitely not commonly associate with a cruise vacation. However, it is for this reason that it makes such a wonderful vacation spot. It is the last frontier here on earth. Scarcely populated, the lack of development has left plenty of space for wildlife. While you should definitely pack a bit differently for an Antarctic cruise versus a more balmy environment, it is worth it to see all of continent's rare inhabitants and to be a part of what is practically a secret society.
Costa Rica is home to a very lush and populated rain forest, as well as some very interesting locals. In addition to providing cruise passengers with a lively and beautiful environment to explore, and some very rare and interesting wildlife, the beautiful beaches and warm climate make Costa Rica a fantastic vacation spot. There are also a lot of volunteer opportunities if you would like to make your vacation a capacity building one, as well as programs wherein you can stay with families who actually live in Costa Rica. This is a great opportunity to learn a lot about another culture and expand your own horizons.

Niagara Falls 3 Tips To Having The Best Vacation
Is Niagara Falls your dream destination? Don't be afraid to admit it. For a lot of people, it is. Niagara Falls is always at the top of the "places I want to runaway and get married" list. Well, Niagara Falls might not be giving Vegas a run for it's money these days, but it's still holding strong in a lot of people's minds as a place that they dream of for a variety of reasons. Japanese, American, and European tourists constantly rate it one of the best attractions in North America. I've compiled a list of three of my top tips to getting the most of a great Niagara Falls vacation.
1) IMAX. Don't overlook the power of technology at a natural attraction. IMAX can add a great 3rd party viewpoint to any attraction. In fact, a lot of times, I'll go see an IMAX production before seeing the real thing to get an idea of what to look for. There might be all sorts of history attached to an attraction that you won't know without someone telling you. Niagara Falls has an IMAX production that you should definitely watch.
2) Go to the Aquarium of Niagara Falls. Across the border, in Canada, you can find one of the best bargains in the area. Last we checked, they were only charging $7 for adults and $5 for children. While this might have changed since this article's writing, it's still a good deal at any price.There are tons of cool fish and animals available for your viewing pleasure. I'm sure you will enjoy it, and it's a nice break from the rapids themselves.
3) Surf the shoulder seasons. This is really a great tip that someone gave me (sadly, I cannot take credit for it). Niagara Falls is best seen during the summer months. Much like Europe, the big crowds in Niagara Falls come during June through August. However, the weather is still really nice during late May and early September. Just because the rest of the world goes home during the last week in August, doesn't mean you have to. September is an especially beautiful time of year at Niagara Falls. Use it to your advantage and make your trip special without dealing with long lines and unmanageable crowds.
