Ranthambore is a small village near Sawai Madhopur,
in the state of Rajasthan. The Ranthambhore Park is set between the Aravalli and Vindhya
ranges. Its deciduous forests were once a part of the
magnificent jungles of Central India.
The park is famous for tigers and due to conservation
efforts, the tiger population has stabilized if not
increased here. The tigers can be spotted quite often even
during the day, at their normal pursuits-- hunting and
taking care of their young ones.
