Ranthambhore National Park lies in the shadow of the Aravalli and Vindhya mountain ranges and covers a core area of 275 sq km. Its razor-sharp ridges, deep boulder-filled gorges, lakes and jungles are the habitat of carnivores such as the caracal, panther, jackal and hyena, numerous species of deer and a most rich variety of resident and migratory birds. The most famous resident, however, is the endangered tiger, and it is a unique experience to catch glimpses of this majestic animal. Like other parks in the region, this was originally the hunting ground of Jaipur’s maharajas and it only became a Project Tiger Reserve in 1973.
