<p>Another tiger from Ranthambhore National Park...</p><div></div>

<p>David,</p> <p>Ranthambhore National Park is a very good choice when it comes to see tigers. I have been there twice, and had really good tiger sightings. Please have a look at <a href="http://jalbum.net/en/browse/user/album/1026845">http://jalbum.net/en/browse/user/album/1026845</a> for a 6-episode video series of my second trip to Ranthambhore.</p> <p>Be advised that you need to stay at least 3 days, but preferably more, with both a morning and afternoon safari every day to optimize your chances of seeing a tiger. I would recommend that you stay away from the big 'bus' but arrange for a personal vehicle (with a driver and a park guide), unless you like many (and usually unpleasantly loud) people for company.</p> <p>Ranthambhore is easy to reach by train from Delhi: if you take an early morning train to Sawai Madhopur (the city closest to the park), you will get there by early afternoon, just in time to check into your hotel, and to get ready for you first (afternoon) safari.</p> <p>I haven't been to Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary (now called Keoladeo National Park), but it looks pretty good, especially considering that Bharatpur is one of the stations where the train from Delhi to Sawai Madhopur / Ranthambhore stops (around the half-way mark). So if you want to cut travel whithin India to a minimum, this park is certainly a good option.</p> <p>Another bonus of the combination of these two parks is that the city of Agra is also fairly close, so a (cultural) visit to the Taj Mahal would be possible without too much of a detour.</p> <p>Please be advised that my personal interest of the natural world has a strong bias towards (big) cats, so tigers (and a reasonable distance from an international airport) were the most important reasons for the selection of a park. YMMV ...</p><div></div>

<p>Cosmic C already pointed you to where the lock file can be found:</p> <blockquote> <p>In the folder/directory where you have the Lightroom catalogue (ie the .lrcat file) lightroom creates a file with an extension ".lrcat.lock" to indicate its using the catalogue.</p> </blockquote> <p>If necessary, you can let your Windows Explorer search for it: type ".lock" (without the double quotes) in the Explorer's search box.</p>
