Ranthambore National Park
Where Nature, Wildlife and History Unite
About Ranthambore
Ranthambore National Park in Sawai Madhopur, Rajasthan, is one of India’s most famous wildlife destinations — known for its majestic Royal Bengal tigers, diverse flora and fauna, and historic ruins. The tiger reserve spreads over roughly 1,334 sq km where the Aravalli and Vindhya hill ranges meet.
Once the private hunting ground of the Maharajas of Jaipur, it became a Project Tiger reserve in 1973 and a National Park in 1980. Towering over the jungle is the 10th-century Ranthambore Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Lakes such as Padam Talao, Rajbagh and Malik Talao make it one of the best places in the world to photograph wild tigers — making a Ranthambore tiger safari an unforgettable experience of nature, wildlife and heritage.
