Take a trip to Ranthambore National Park on your India Vacation
While on India tours, do consider a visit to Ranthambore National Park which is the largest national park in northern India. Located 180 km (112 miles) southeast of Jaipur, in the state of Rajasthan, the park covers a vast area of nearly 400 sq. km (249 sq. miles) and is set between the Aravalli and Vindhya hill ranges.
Becoming a national park in 1980, Ranthambore was first established as the Sawai Madhopur Game Sanctuary in 1955, and then a tiger reserve in 1973. Growing to include adjacent forests in 1984, Ranthambore National Park is now best known for its large tiger population and reserve. As tigers are the main attraction, it’s not hard to spot one on a trip to India!
Ranthambore Fort is located in the park and offers majestic views 213 metres (700 ft) above the surrounding plain. Built-in the 10th century, the fort features three stone temples which were built in the 12th and 13th centuries.
Padam Talao is the largest lake in Ranthambore National Park and features Jogi Mahal, a red-stoned structure, by the lake’s edge. Also near the lake is a huge banyan tree, considered to be India’s second largest. Ranthambore National Park on a trip to India is open to the public from October to May. Featuring accommodation and transportation facilities in the park, a visit here will satisfy any photographer and wildlife enthusiast.
