Holidays in RajasthanRanthambore National Park


Situated in the eastern Rajasthan at the confluence of the Aravali Hill Ranges and the Vindhyan Plateau, Ranthambore’s terrain is an amalgam of massive rock formations, steep scarps, perennial lakes and streams, dense deciduous forests, and open bush land. Though bound by the rivers Chambal in the south and Banas in the north, the Ranthambore National Park has no connection with any river system, and has internal drainage system. Six man-made lakes are the central focus of Ranthambore along with many streams meandering through the park.

Once the hunting ground of the Maharajas of Jaipur, Ranthambore is also a heritage site due to the lake palaces, ‘chhatris’, old fortifications, and a majestic fort dating back to 1,000 years, which overlook the park. It was declared a wildlife sanctuary in year 1957, and gained the protection of “Project Tiger” in year 1974. In year 1981, Ranthambore was titled as a “National Park”.
