RANTHAMBORE NATIONAL PARK

Ranthambore National Park is one of the largest national parks in Northern India and is hugely popular for the preservation of tigers. It is the one of the first national parks where Project Tiger, a revival project for the dwindling population of Bengal tigers, was started in 1973. Any wildlife enthusiast can visit the national park to spot tigers in the broad daylight roaming around the vast stretches of the deciduous forest, predominantly present in this sprawling park. The park is also famous for Dhak, a species of tree which can withstand long spells of drought. The park is guarded by the Banas River in the north and the Chambal River in the south. The national park is named after the magnificent fortress Ranthambore, standing tall amidst the speckled greenery of the national park.

The national park stretches over a vast area of about 500 sq. kms., covered with large areas of dry deciduous forests, interrupted with grassy meadows and dotted with large lakes in between. The three of the largest lakes are Padam Tal, Raj Bagh Tal and Malik Tal. These lakes, being extensive in size, are good sources for wildlife animals to quench their thirsts and good spots for tourists to see these wild beauties in their natural habitat.

Bakaula region, being one of the thickly forested and coolest regions of the National Park has an abundance of wildlife. Apart from tigers, the national park is a beautiful place to experience other species of fauna as well as flora. The park is guaranteed to be an ultimate, cumulative experience of adventure, nature and history to its every single visitor.
