Ranthambore National Park

India · tigers · wildlife · history

Home to tigers. Ranthambore is one of India's most important tiger reserves, protecting these magnificent striped cats in their natural habitat. Tigers hunt deer and wild boar across the park's forests and grasslands.

Ancient fort inside. A historic fort called Ranthambore Fort sits right in the middle of the park, built hundreds of years ago. The fort and park share the same name and give the area its special mix of nature and history.

Two rivers surround it. The Banas River runs along the north side of the park while the Chambal River borders the south. These rivers provide water for all the animals living in the park.

Diverse animal life. Beyond tigers, the park is home to leopards, crocodiles, wild boar, and many kinds of deer. Hundreds of bird species also live there, making it a paradise for animal watchers.

Located in Rajasthan. The park covers 1,334 square kilometers in Sawai Madhopur district, a region in northwestern India known for its dry forests and rocky terrain.
