TIGERS IN RAJASTHAN

TIGERS IN RAJASTHAN

The Ranthambore National Park named after historic fort of Ranthambore, is probable one of the best places in India to see the tiger in its natural habitat. It was one of the eight national parks and sanctuaries designated as Project Tiger Reservers in 1973. Spread over an area of about 1500 km, the Ranthanbore National Park was the private hunting reserve of the maharajas of Jaipur till it was converted into a sanctuary. The 1000 year old Ranthambore Fort, once a Rajput stronghold, stands a mute witness to bygone days. The Ranthambore National park is closed to visitors during the monsoon season. November to March is the best time to visit its rich variety of birdlife and wildlife.
