Ranthambore National Park

Ranthambore National Park is one of the finest tiger reserves in the country. The Park's abandoned fortress, lakes and above all it's 'friendly' tigers have made it one of the most filmed wildlife reserves in the world. Ranthambore was declared a wildlife sanctuary in 1955 and became part of Project Tiger in 1973.

Ranthambore National Park is famous for its tigers and is one of the best places in the country to see these majestic predators in the wild. The tigers can be easily spotted even during the day. A good time to visit is between November and May when the nature of the dry deciduous forests makes sightings common. The Park covers an area of nearly 400 sq. km. and is set between the Aravali and Vindhya ranges. Its deciduous forests were once a part of the magnificent jungles of Central India.



The varied topography of the national park is home to animals such as the jackal, mongoose, sloth bear, leopard, and of course, the tiger. Ranthambore has much to offer in sightseeing and excursions. Surrounded by the Vindhya and Aravali hill ranges and located very near to the outer fringes of the Thar Desert, this place offers the best of the desert land as well as plain area near the hills.
