Ranthambore National Park

Nestling in the Aravali hills, in the midst of the arid plains and denuded tracts of Rajasthan in North India, lies Ranthambhore. Ranthambhore National  Park is hailed as one of India’s finest wildlife sanctuaries. A hunting reserve for the Maharajas of Jaipur, the park was once open to only the select few.

But gone are the days of it being the destination of royal hunting parties, Ranthambhore is now strictly a home to India’s wildlife. Nearly 400 sq kms, the Park is set between the Aravalli and Vindhya range, its forests once a part of the magnificent jungles of central India. Today, Ranthambore is famous for its tigers and is often referred to as the best place to see these majestic predators of the wild.

Ranthambore’s unique climatic and vegetation features have given rise to forests that are dry and open with little and shunted ground cover. This makes wildlife viewing relatively easier on the safari. And three major lakes Rajbaugh, Milak talao and Padam talao serve as watering holes for the herbivorous and carnivorous creatures that inhabit this National Park.
