The Ranthambore National Park in Rajasthan is a jewel among the national parks and sanctuaries in India, and probably one of the best places in the world to observe and photograph tigers in their natural habitat. It once formed part of a contiguous belt of virgin forest that stretched across the width of Central India. The past 50 years have seen the relentless destruction of vast tracts of forest land and all that remains today are isolated pockets of jungle preserved by virtue of the fact that they have been declared protected areas. Ranthambore was one of the eight national parks and sanctuaries designated as Project Tiger Reserves in 1973.

The park spreads over an area of 1,334 sq km and includes the adjoining sanctuaries of the Kaila Devi Sanctuary and the Mansingh Sanctuary. The idea to preserve the wildlife first came to the former rulers of Jaipur. Ranthambore became a Game Sanctuary in 1955 and was among the first few reserved areas for wildlife in India. The sanctuary acquired the status of a National Park in 1984. On Ranthambore Tours India, we may spot from the population of around 36 Tigers and 40 Leopards.

The star attraction is ofcourse the Tifer, which can be seen easily even during the day, mostly near the lakes inside the park. Apart from the Royal Bengal Tigers, we can see rare and unique animals and birds on wildlife India Tours include Panthers, Chital, Sambar, Blackbuck, Chinkara, Leopard, Sloth Bear, Hyena, Jackal, Wild Boars, Mongoose, Nilgai, Gazelle, Bears, Indian Hare, Monitor Lizards and a large number of exotic and colorful birds. There are ruins, lake palaces and old fortifications all around the park providing glimpses of its glorious past.

The Ranthambhore National Park is rich in its flora. The park is dotted with plenty of ancient Banyan trees, Pipal, Dhok, and Mango trees. Some of the Banyan tress in this park is more than 700 years old. The park has got two extremes – the open bush land and impregnable forests. During our Wildlife India Tours to Ranthambhore national park we will see a lot of Dhok trees, cluster of Mango trees, Peepal trees and ancient Banyan trees in the dry and deciduous forests of Ranthambhore.

Apart from rich flora and fauna, the Ranthambhore National Park is also known for the 10th century Ranthambhore Fort and the forest rest house – Jogi Mahal. The Ranthambhore Fort and Jogi Mahal are the worth visiting attractions of the Ranthambhore National Park.
