Ranthambore, Rajasthan
Been there recently?
Ranthambore is a large and well-known park in northern India, and is a prime destination for wildlife enthusiasts. These woods were once used by the Maharajas of Jaipur as a hunting preserve; today, they attract tourists interested in seeing the Royal Bengal Tiger in its natural habitat. Ranthambore, which is 155 kilometres from Jaipur, has a varied topography that includes rolling hills, crags, meadows, lakes, and rivulets. This provides some of the best chances to see the majestic tiger in the wild. In addition to the tiger, the park is home to sloth bears, leopards, jackals, foxes, hyenas, Indian wolves, chital, sambar deer, blue bull antelopes, also known as nilgais, rhesus macaques, langurs, and a staggering array of bird species. The landscape of this dry deciduous forest is dominated by the Ranthambore fort, which dates back to the 10th century.
