Ranthambore National Park: An Exhilarating Wildlife Experience
Location: Ranthambore National Park, located in the
Sawai Madhopur district of Rajasthan, India, is one of the largest and most
renowned national parks in Northern India. Sprawled over an area of
approximately 392 square kilometers, it is situated at the junction of the
Aravalli and Vindhya hill ranges. The nearest town and railway station is Sawai
Madhopur, which serves as the gateway to the park.
What Can Be Spotted: Ranthambore is famous for its
thriving population of Bengal tigers, making it one of the best places in India
to spot these majestic creatures in their natural habitat. Apart from tigers,
the park is also home to a diverse range of wildlife, including leopards, sloth
bears, sambar deer, chital, wild boars, and over 300 species of birds, making
it a paradise for birdwatchers as well.
Brief History: Once the hunting grounds of the
Maharajas of Jaipur, Ranthambore was declared a wildlife sanctuary in 1955 and
later upgraded to a national park in 1980. The park derives its name from the
historic Ranthambore Fort, which overlooks the reserve and dates back to the 10th
century. The park's rugged terrain, dotted with ancient ruins and picturesque
lakes, adds to its charm and allure.
