Ranthambore
Tiger Park |
 |
Ranthambore National Park is situated
Near the township of Sawai Madhopur, in the state of Rajasthan.
It is an outstanding example of Project Tiger's efforts at conservation
in the country. The forests around the Ranthambore Fort were
once, the private hunting grounds of the Maharajas of Jaipur.
The desire to preserve the game in these forests for sport,
was responsible for their conservation, and subsequent rescue
by Project Tiger.
The National Park sprawls over an estimated area of 400 sq kms.
Steep crags embrace a network of lakes and rivers, and atop
one of these hills, is the impressive Ranthambore Fort, built
in the 10th century. Strategically built on the border of Rajasthan
and Malwa, the fort houses some splendid monuments, within its
precincts. The terrain fluctuates between impregnable forests
and open bushland. The forest is the typically dry deciduous
type, with dhok, being the most prominent tree.
