The Home of Tigers
The Ranthambore National Park is set amidst the Aravalli and Vindhya mountain ranges. Its dry & deciduous forests were once a part of the magnificent jungles of Central India. The landscape of the forest is rugged and there are rocky ridges, hills and open valleys with lakes and pools.

The Ranthambore National Park was the hunting ground of Maharaja of Jaipur. In 1955, it was declared a game sanctuary; in 1980, it became a national park. But with the commissioning of Project Tiger in 1972, it was included in the project. With the inclusion of neighbouring Keladeo and Mansingh sanctuaries, the total area of the national park now stands at 1,334 sq km. But the entire park - the core area is just 392 sq kms - is not open to the public.

Ranthambore is a heritage site because of the picturesque ruins that are scattered around the wildlife park. There are lake palaces, 'chhatris', old fortifications and a majestic 10th century fort, overlooking the park.
