Ranthambore National Park
The formidable force.
Sawai Madhopur is the gateway to world renowned Ranthambore, famous for its national park. It has been a witness to the rise and fall of many rulers and a series of battle scenes. Today, it is famous for its tigers and is one of the best places in the country to see these majestic predators in the wild. In the 13th century A.D., Govinda, the grandson of Prithviraj Chauhan took over the reign of the land. Later his successor Vagbhatta beautified the city.
The Ranthambore Park is set between the Aravalli and Vindhya ranges. Its deciduous forests were once a part of the magnificent jungles of Central India. The terrain is rugged and there are rocky ridges, hills and open valleys with lakes and pools. The landscape is dotted with ancient Banyan Trees, Dhok & Pipal trees, clusters of mango trees. Tigers can be spotted quit often even during the day, at their normal pursuits - hunting and taking care of their young. The species list includes 300 trees, 50 aquatic plants, 272 birds, 12 reptiles including the Marsh Crocodile & amphibians and 30 mammals.

With a coverage area of 392-sq-kms, this park got its name from the Ranthambhore Fort, which sits on a rocky outcrop in the heart of the Park.
