Tourist Information On Ranthambhore National Park In Rajasthan

The ranthambhore national park stretched across an area of 1,334 sq km on the eastern edge of the Thar Desert, between the Aravali and Vindhaya ranges. Once the hunting grounds of the erstwhile ruling family of jaipur, today it is one of the last sanctuaries of the big cat , the Royal Bengal Tiger and is the most important destination for tourists enjoying the Rajasthan Holiday Packages ,. Ranthambore actually consists of not one, but three, wildlife preserve; the Ranthambhore National Park itself, the Sawai Manshing Sanctury and the Keladevi Sanctuary.

Ranthambore is a oasis of dense dry deciduous forest amidst a vast tract of sami arid scrub and thorny desert vegetation surrounded by the  hills of the Vandhyas and the Aravalis. Ravines, nallash, water bodies and waterfalls lie scattered about the park and offer many natural hideouts for tigers and the other wildlife endemic to this park. An ancient fort also lies within the park boundaries of Ranthambore, adding to its charm.

Part of Project Tiger (one of Asia’s most important conservation efforts), Ranthambore is a favorite haunt for wildlife buffs and professional wildlife photographers from around the world. The park’s many resident animals include tiger, panthers, wild cats, hyena, jakal, marsh crocodile, wild boar, bears, many species of deer and a rich birdlife of over 300 species, including the great Indian horned owl. Ranthambore encompasses three lakes; Raj Bagh, Malik Talab and Padam Talab, where aquatic birds such as jacanas, painted storks, egrets and migratory birds (during the winter) can be seen. Although latest report show that the tiger population of Ranthambore is on the decline, the park remains one of Ondia’s best places to see the great cat in all its glory.
