The royal couple traveled to India to attend the Delhi Durbar, a ceremony proclaiming them emperor and empress of India.

After the ceremonies, the royal couple traveled around the Indian subcontinent. King George, an avid marksman and hunter, went on a 10-day big game hunt in Nepal.

Over the course of the hunt, the party killed 39 tigers, 18 rhinoceros and four bears. The predators were baited with cattle tied up at the edges of the jungle.

At the time, the Indian tiger population was around 100,000. Today that number is just 2,500.
