Ranthambhore, India Travel and Tourism

The Pink City of India: Jaipur - Hotels, Tours, Cars, Guides, Maps Ranthambhore

A small village near the township of Sawai Madhopur, in the state of Rajasthan, Ranthambhore gets its name from the two hills, Ran and Thambor, which are in close proximity. Ranthambhore Park is set between the Aravalli and Vindhya ranges. Ranthambhore is a heritage site because of the picturesque ruins that dot the park. There are lake palaces, chhatris, old fortifications and a majestic 1,000-year-old fort overlooking the park.

The forests around the Ranthambhore Fort were once, the private hunting grounds of the Maharajas of Jaipur. The desire to preserve the game in these forests for sport was responsible for their conservation, and subsequent rescue by Project Tiger. As a result of stringent efforts in conservation, tigers- the prime assets of the Park, have become more and more active during the day. More than in any other park or sanctuary in India, tigers are easily spotted here in daylight. They can be seen lolling around lazily in the sun, or feverishly hunting down sambar around the lakes.

Apart from tigers, the park has its share of panthers, marsh crocodiles, hyenas, jungle cats, sloth bears and sambars. Chital, nilgai, and chinkara are the other inhabitants of the region. The avian population comprises of about 264 species, found within the park. Therefore, Ranthambhore is probably the ideal park for wildlife photography, and it does attract professional wildlife photographers, from all over the globe.
