Ranthambhor National Park

 
Image
  

Ranthambhor National park is one of the prime examples of Project Tiger’s conservation efforts in Rajasthan.

The park itself covers some 400 sq. km and its scenery is very beautiful. A system of lakes and rivers is hemmed in by steep high crags and, on top of one of these, is the extensive and well-preserved fortress of Ranthambhor, built in the 10th century. The lower-lying ground alternates between open bushland and fairly dense forest and is peppered with ruined pavilions, chhatris (tombs) and ‘hides’ - the area was formerly a hunting preserve of the maharajas.

Wild life found here are tiger, panther, hyaena, jackal, sambar, chital & nilgai.

A good network of gravel tracks crisscrosses the park and safaris are undertaken in open-sided jeeps drive by a ranger. The best time to visit the park is between October & April. The park is closed from 01 June to 01 Oct. CONTACT US FOR RATES
