What to see
Ranthambore National Park
One of the finest examples of Project Tiger's conservation efforts in India, Ranthambore National Park occupies an area of over 400 sq km. Replete with many steep crags the park is dotted with lakes and rivers. Adding to the beauty and grandeur of the Park is the 10th century Fort parched on one of the hills.
Ranthambore Fort
You can have a panoramic view of the park from its ramparts. From the fort, one can have a glimpse of open bush land and fairly dense forest, replete with ruined pavilions/ chatris and hideouts.
Jogi Mahal
at the foot of the Ranthambore Fort, the lovely forest rest house Jogi Mahal gives magnificent view of the Padam Talao. It boasts of the second largest Banyan tree in India.
The other places to see are Raj Bagh Talab, the Padam Talab and the Milak Talab are some of the beautiful lakes in the area that attract tiger population. You can track the tigers at the edges of these lakes. Ruined ramparts, pavilions, crumbling walls, and wells bear testimony to the region's past glory. Tigers can be spotted roaming around in the sunny surroundings, or feverishly hunting down Sambar around the lakes. Even if you do not get an opportunity to see a tiger, it is worth visiting for its scenic grandeur alone.
