A glimpse into Ranthambore's History

Ranthambore National Park, a haven for majestic tigers, boasts a rich history dating back to 1955. It all started as the Sawai Madhopur Gaming Sanctuary, a testament to the area's long association with wildlife. The year 1973 marked a turning point when Ranthambore proudly joined India's Project Tiger Reserves, solidifying its commitment to protecting these endangered big cats.

In 1980, Ranthambore's significance was further recognized as it officially became a national park. This milestone wasn't the end, but rather a stepping stone. In 1991, the park's territory expanded to encompass the neighboring Keladevi Sanctuary and Sawai Mansingh Sanctuary, along with additional verdant forests, creating a larger sanctuary for diverse wildlife.

Today, Ranthambore is synonymous with tigers. With almost guaranteed sightings, it's no wonder the park is a magnet for wildlife enthusiasts and tiger photography tours. But Ranthambore's beauty extends beyond its striped residents. The park's diverse landscape, encompassing dry deciduous forests, open meadows, and sparkling lakes, provides a stage for a thrilling display of nature's wonders.

So, if you're seeking a glimpse into India's rich wildlife heritage and the captivating story of tiger conservation, look no further than Ranthambore National Park. It's an experience that will leave you spellbound and forever etched in your memories.

Ranthambore Park Safari Timing

The safari timings at Ranthambore National Park are meticulously designed to enhance your opportunities of encountering majestic tigers, leopards, sloth bears, and a diverse array of captivating species. Divided into distinct zones, each section of the park provides a unique insight into the wildlife and vegetation.

• Ranthambore National Park

The undisputed king of Ranthambore, the majestic Bengal tiger reigns supreme. Spotting these striped wonders prowling through their territory is a highlight of any safari, a testament to the park's successful conservation efforts.

While less frequently seen than their royal cousins, the agile and solitary leopard adds a touch of mystery to Ranthambore. With patience and a dash of luck, you might catch a glimpse of these enigmatic predators.

Ranthambore hosts a significant population of sloth bears, known for their deliberate movements and unique feeding habits, offering visitors a delightful sight in their natural habitat.

Ranthambore stands as one of the few places in India where striped hyenas roam freely, showcasing their distinctive black and white striped coats and scavenging behaviors.

The park shelters a large population of Sambar deer, the largest deer species in India, often seen peacefully grazing in the grasslands.

With their elegant spotted coats, chital deer contribute to the park's scenic beauty, adding a graceful touch to the landscape.
