About
Ranthambore National Park
Ranthambhore, Situated at the junction of the Aravalli and
the Vindhya ranges. Ranthambore is one of India's
conservation success stories. Since becoming one of the
original 11 areas under Project Tiger in 1973, the park
has recovered much f its previous natural glory, proving
that, with careful management, a once wooded area which
has been reduced to arid scrub can be restored.
In 1973, the then sanctuary of 60 square miles (156 square
km) was expanded to 158 square miles (411 square km) with
a core area of 65 square miles (169 square km) and later
became a national park. In 1984 and adjoining area of 40
square miles (104 square km) to the south became the Sawai
Man Singh Sanctuary (named after the last ruling Maharaja
of Jaipur.
The blend between nature and history is strong in this
park, and like Bandhavgarh National Park in Madhya Pradesh
the fort, the temples the tanks and other relies are a
constant reminder of man's involvement in the area. The
fort commanded a large area and up to the late - 13th
century was the center of a Hindu Kingdom. During the 18th
century, the area was protected as a hunting area for and
by the Maharaja of Jaipur and It is thanks to an extension
on this protection that the park exists today.
The fort is the natural focal point of the park with a
series of well - established artificial lakes stretching
to the north.
The park entrance is only eight miles from Sawai Madhopur
station on the main Bombay - Delhi line. A meerguage line
connects Sawai Madhopur with Jaipur (10miles / 162 km).
Preferably wear neutral and earthy coloured clothes.
