Especially in winter, this park becomes a hideout of migratory birds.
Natural beauty treasure
Ranthambore’s landscape is very attractive and diverse. Here green forests, rocky hills, open grass lands and cool lakes are seen. This area is located at the confluence of the Aravalli and Vindhyachal mountain ranges, making its geography even more interesting. Padma ponds, Malik Talab and Rajbagh ponds located in Park are not only the source of water for tigers, but also the possibilities of their presence are more in these places. Seeing tigers hunting on the banks of lakes becomes the most memorable moment of the jungle safari.
Ranthambore Fort: History and Jungle’s confluence
Ranthambore is named from Ranthambore Fort, which is an ancient fort located inside this park. This fort has been built in the 10th century and has been a witness to many historical wars. This fort, included in the UNESCO World Heritage List, is not only an amazing example of architecture, but it also creates a unique confluence of natural and historical beauty due to being located in the middle of the forest. The bird’s veteran view from the fort is worth seeing. From here the view of the entire forest settles in the eyes, and the roar of tigers can also be heard from a distance.
