About
Ranthambore
National
Park:
Ranthambore
National
Park
is situated
in India's
north western
state of
Rajasthan,
near the
town of
Sawai Madhopur,
midway between
Bharatpur
and Kota
townships.
It is surrounded
by the Vindhya
and Aravali
hill ranges
and is very
near to
the outer
fringes
of the Thar
Desert.
The entire
area has
sprawling
tracts of
the desert
and semi-desert
vegetation.
Originally
a hunting
ground of
the Maharaja
of Jaipur,
Ranthambore
was declared
a game sanctuary
in 1955.
In 1980,
it became
a national
park and
listed among
the reserves
protected
under Project
Tiger (1973).
Presently
the Kaila
Devi Sanctuary,
also famous
for its
tigers,
and Mansingh
Sanctuary
also form
part of
Ranthambore
Reserve
Ranthambore
National
Park
sprawls
over an
estimated
area of
400 sq
kms. Steep
crags
embrace
a network
of lakes
and rivers,
and a
top one
of these
hills,
is the
impressive
Ranthambore
Fort,
built
in the
10th century.
The terrain
fluctuates
between
impregnable
forests
and open
bushland.
The forest
is the
typically
dry deciduous
type,
with dhok,
being
the most
prominent
tree.
The entry
point
to the
Ranthambore
National
Park,
goes straight
to the
foot of
the fort
and the
forest
rest house,
Jogi Mahal.
The latter
boasts
of the
second-largest
banyan
tree in
India.
The Padam
Talab,
the Raj
Bagh Talab
and the
Malik
Talab
are some
of the
lakes
in the
area,
that attract
the tiger
population.
They have
been spotted
at the
edges
of these
lakes,
and Jogi
Mahal
itself.
Old crumbling
walls,
ruined
pavilions,
wells,
and other
ancient
structures
stand
witness
to the
region's
glorious
past.
The entire
forest
is peppered
with the
battlements
and spillovers
of the
Ranthambore
Fort -
tigers
are said
to frequent
these
ruins,
too. As
a result
of stringent
efforts
in conservation,
tigers,
the prime
assets
of the
Park,
have become
more and
more active
during
the day.
More than
in any
other
park or
sanctuary
in India,
tigers
are easily
spotted
here in
daylight.
They can
be seen
lolling
around
lazily
in the
sun, or
feverishly
hunting
down Sambar
around
the lakes.
