Ranthambore Wildlife Tour
The Ranthambore National Park is one of the most popular tiger reserves in India. Spread across three hundred and ninety two square kilometers Ranthambore is home to a variety of wildlife. The prime attraction at Ranthambore remains the Tiger, the national animal of India. The tiger's retreat of Ranthambore ies at the foot of the Aravali Hills in the Royal Indian state of Rajasthan. The Ranthambore National Park is easily accessible from the town of Sawai Madhopur.
Earlier a
hunting ground of the Maharaja of Jaipur, Ranthambore is now a must visit for the adventure seekers and the wildlife lovers alike. Way back in 1955 Ranthambore was declared a game sanctuary. In 1973 Ranthambore was protected under Project Tiger. It was in the year 1980 that Ranthambore became a national park. The Ranthambore Reserve comprises of the Kaila Devi Sanctuary, renowned for its tigers, and Mansingh Sanctuary too.
Ranthambore, which receives thousands of visitors each year,
is most famous for its tigers. Tigers here can be spotted
quite often in their natural habitat even during daytime. They
have been frequently seen at the edges of three lakes-Padam
Talab, Raj Bagh Talab and Milak Talab. The park also has
panthers in sizable numbers, though they have been spotted
generally at the outskirts of the park perhaps due to the
inevitable conflict with the tiger population, which command
the ‘superior’ position amidst the predatory cats. For
spotting panthers, Kachida Valley is regarded as the ideal
place.
