Ranthambore

Where the Bengal Tiger Roams Free

About

Discover Ranthambore

Ranthambore was the private hunting ground of the Maharajas of Jaipur until Project Tiger protected it in 1973. Today it is one of India's finest arenas for sighting the Royal Bengal Tiger in the wild — the combination of open grassland, ancient ruins and watchful tigers at lakeside makes Ranthambore uniquely photogenic among Indian reserves. The park's diverse terrain — rocky ridges, lakes, meadows and thorn forest — supports tiger, leopard, sloth bear, caracal, hyena and hundreds of bird species. Dominating the park is the 10th-century Ranthambore Fortress, a UNESCO-listed fort from which the Chauhan Rajputs once commanded the surrounding plain.
