Ranthambhore National Park is one of India's most famous tiger parks, located in the Sawai Madhoper District of Rajasthan. This location makes it the most accessible of the tiger parks, and Ranthambhore fits in well with the Golden Triangle.
Ranthambhore was originally a hunting ground of the Maharaja of Jaipur, but was declared a wildlife sanctuary in 1957. In 1974 it gained the protection of "Project Tiger" and in 1981 got it's status of a National Park. On top of a large hill, Ranthambhore Fort dominates the landscape, with remnants of the old fortifications dotted throughout the park, giving lots of character. The 400 square kilometre habitat is mainly dry deciduous forest and there are a number of lakes. Tigers here are very used to vehicles, which makes it possible to get very close without disturbing them. They're often spotted, although sometimes the sighting is a fleeting glance as they cross the road in front of your vehicle.
You may see leopard here and a host of other species. Sloth bear are regularly seen and there are plenty of deer and antelope - in particular you see chital (spotted deer), chinkara (Indian gazelle), and nilgai (blue bull). There are some very large crocodiles in the lakes which can be seen basking on the banks. And of course there is no shortage of langur monkeys.
There are a limited number of vehicles allowed in the park on a rota system, so you will never feel that it is overcrowded with tourists.
Your stay will be at a comfortable wildlife resort on the edge of the park.
