Shrouded in romance & intrigue and inhabited by tigers, Ranthambore National Park beckons you for a fascinating trip in the wilderness. Nestled in the jungles of Sawai Madhopur in Rajasthan, this national park gets its name from the majestic Ranthambore Fort that now lies in ruins in the center of the forest. This primal stretch of wilderness with its haunted ruins, myths & lore, and roaring tigers is a much sought after haunt of wildlife enthusiasts and adventure seekers.
The park, sprawled in an area of around 390 sq km and located at the junction of Aravalli & Vindhya ranges, has much undulating topography with rolling hillocks, expansive grasslands, large lakes, and a jungle of thick deciduous trees. Its two rivers, Banas & Chambal, flowing on the north & south respectively, are the main source of water in Ranthambore.
Ranthambore is the realm of the Royal Bengal Tiger, and thousands of tourists visit here for a glimpse of this ruler of Ranthambore. However, the jungle is also inhabited by leopards, monitor lizards, sloth bear, jackal, fishing cat, nilgai, desert fox, and many more mammals. You may also see pythons on the tall trees and crocodiles sunning on the lake banks. The water bodies in the park are flocked by a variety of birds from serpent eagles & vultures to sandpiper and kingfishers who interrupt the silence of the jungle with their whistles & calls.
Once you enter Ranthambore, all you hear is tiger-talk. Some missed it, some lucky ones saw it, some tracked & missed, and so on. Experienced trackers & guides take you to different safari zones in the park. Opt for a Jeep Safari or a Canter Safari, and be sure to book it in advance especially during tourist season. Tiger safari is an exhilarating experience, where all your senses are on high alert, and you are sure to skip a heartbeat at the sight of a powerful male tiger walking on the road, or a tigress ambling with her cubs to a watering hole.
An ancient citadel, now in ruins, Ranthambore Fort stands in the middle of the park and is home to many myths and legends. Climbing up to the ramparts is quite tiring but equally rewarding as the view from there is awe-inspiring. Also check out the Jogi Mahal at the foot of the fort and Ganesh temple inside the fort.
Ranthambore National Park is opened to visitors from October to June.
By Air - Sanganer Airport, Jaipur, around 150kms away, is the closest airport.
By Rail - The nearest railhead, Sawai Madhopur, around 14kms from Ranthambore, connects the park with major Indian cities.
By Road - A network of well-maintained roads & highways connect Ranthambore National Park to the cities in the region.
