Introduction
Once a favourite hunting ground of the Jaipur royalty, the Ranthambhore National Park in Rajasthan is a delight for wildlife enthusiasts with its six artificial lakes and a number of streams.
The park is filled with old mango and banyan trees. Amidst the thick forests are massive rocks, with meandering streams. In some places, these streams give way to large tracts of grassy land.
Tourist Attractions in Ranthambore
Largely due to the protection given to them, Ranthambore National Park has turned into a haven for tigers and all those who would like to have a ringside view of the majestic creatures in their natural habitat must make the trip to the Park. In addition to the king of the Indian jungles, the park showcases over 250 species of birds, more than 10 kinds of reptiles like the Marsh Crocodile and numerous snakes. But it is the tiger, which is the star attraction in the park along with Sambars, Chitals, Nilgais, Gazzelles and Wild Boars. Wildlife enthusiasts can have a field day shooting the tiger with their cameras. In fact, Ranthambore is one place where tigers love to be photographed and what is unique is that they are seen in broad daylight.
Around the park, one can take a look at the Ranthambore Fort and the forest rest house, Jogi Mahal, which incidentally has the second-largest banyan tree in the country.
