Ranthambore is surrounded by Aravalli and Vindhyachal ranges, 180
kms northwest of Jaipur lies the town of Sawai Madhopur. Two
rivers flow through the Ranthambore National Park - the Chambal
River in the South and the Banas River in the North. Six man-made
lakes and many perennial streams pass through the entire national
park. In 1955, the Ranthambore National Park was declared a game
sanctuary; and National Park in 1980. With the initiation of
Project Tiger in 1972, it was declared as a tiger reserve in
India.
Ranthambore is also categorised as a heritage
site because of the picturesque ruins of the fort that dot the
park. The lake palaces, 'chhatris', old fortifications and a
majestic fort dating back to 1,000 years overlook the park. The
Jogi Mahal and the Padam Talao are the unique features of
Ranthambore National Park.
Ranthambore National
Park is one of the best sanctuaries to see tigers. The park is
famous for the Royal Bengal Tigers, which can be seen around the
lakes and watering holes. The forest provides shelter to an
amazing variety of plants and animals. It is also home to over 270
species of birds and nearly 30 different species of mammals. While
