Nestled in Rajasthan, this park is a major draw due to its closeness to the iconic Golden Triangle route. It routes very well if you want to combine it with your visit to the Taj Mahal & Golden triangle.
Ranthambore National Park is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts and nature lovers. Spanning 390 square kms of lush greenery and age-old temple remains, this park was once the hunting arena for the Maharaja of Jaipur. Thanks to dedicated conservation work, the park’s tiger count bounced back from the brink and now boasts over 40 of these majestic beasts. The park is known for its tiger population, and there is a good chance of spotting a tiger during a safari, especially in safari zones 1 to 6. A safari typically lasts for about three to three and a half hours per shift, with the park opening half an hour after sunrise for the morning safari and closing half an hour before sunset for the afternoon safari (Ranthambore National Park).
But Ranthambore is not all about tigers. The park exudes a magical aura that enchants visitors. At the heart of this park, you’ll find the 10th-century Ranthambore Fort, a favorite playground for langurs and monkeys. You might even spot a tiger or a leopard here! The fort also serves as a birdwatcher’s paradise, playing host to over 300 bird species.
For your stay, there is a good selection of charming lodges to choose from for your stay ranging from most opulent to simple and rustic.
Insider tip: There are three lakes at the park; Padam Talao, Raj Talao and Milak Talao, where wildlife often tends to gather. Tigresses and cubs are often spotted in the Bakaula area, as it has dense forest cover and small watering holes.
