About Ranthambhore and Park

Ranthambhore Naional Park

The tiger is one of most elusive beasts alive but if there’s anywhere in India you’re likely to spot this magnificent animal, it is here at Ranthambore. Yet the setting of this iconic of national parks – indelibly associated with the tiger – couldn’t be more ordinary, amid scrubland and barren ridges.

Unlike in Corbett, the tigers at Ranthambore are extroverts, venturing out in full view when their time comes to hunt, or tending to their cubs, within lens-distance of the many tourists that throng here. Sadly, administrative neglect has contributed to poachers running amok, and the tiger population has taken a hit.
