relief during the extremely hot summer months for the
forest inhabitants. A huge fort, after which the park
is named, towers over the park atop a hill. There are
many ruins of bygone eras scattered all over the jungle,
which give it a unique, wonderful and mixed flavour
of nature, history and wildlife.Tigers at Ranthambore
National park have been known to even hunt in full view
of human visitors. These tigers are famous for being
seen in the daytime too, due to their lack of fear of
human presence in vehicles. This lack of fear of humans
is excellent for tourists, as they get to see the tigers
often.

dream. It offers excellent accommodation and internal
transportation facilities. The park remains open every
year from October to May.Famous for the exciting and
frequent tiger sightings captured dramatically in several
books, this park is today affected by ecological pressures
and poaching.

enthusiast and photographer's dream. It offers excellent
accommodation and internal transportation facilities
