Ranthambhore National Park

The Ranthambhore National Park was the hunting ground of Maharaja of Jaipur. In 1955, it was declared as a game sanctuary, with the commission of Project Tiger in 1973, it was included in the project and in 1980. it became a national park. The Ranthambhore Park is set between the Aravalli and Vindhya range. Its deciduous forest were once a part of the magnificent jungles of Central India. The terrain is rugged and there are rocky ridges, hill and open valleys with lakes and pools.Today, it is famous for its tigers and is one of the best places in the country to see majestic predators in the wild. The tigers can be spotted quite often even during the day, at their normal pursuits – hunting and taking care of their young ones. With the strict measures that have been taken for their conservation, they seem quite accustomed to human activity and are not disturbed by it.
