About
Ranthambore National Park
Ranthambhore, in the state of Rajasthan, is one of the
smallest Project Tiger reserves. It's name comes from the
vast fort that stands in the middle of the forest. The
name Ranthambore is derived from two hills in the area,
Ran and Thanbhor. Another version says that Ranthambhore
was once called Rana Stambhapura or City of the Pillars of
War!
The Ranthambhore National Park at the junction of the
Aravalis and the Vindhayas is a unique juxtaposition of
the natural and historical richness, standing out
conspicuously in the vast, arid and denuded tract of
eastern Rajasthan, barely 14 kms. from Sawai Madhopur. The
elegant Ranthambhore fort called the Jogi Mahal is now the
forest rest house.
It spreads over a highly undulating topography varying
from the gentle to the steep slopes; from flat topped
hills of the Vindhayas to the conical hillocks and the
sharp ridges of the Aravalis. An important geological
feature the 'Great Boundary Fault' where the Vindhaya
plateaus meet the Aravali hill ranges, meanders through
the reserve. The National Park is bounded by the rivers
Chambal in the South and the Banas in the North. Pure
stands of the Dhok interspersed with open grasslands of
the plateaus, six large lakes - Gilai Sagar, Mansarovar,
Malik talao, Raj Bagh and Padam Talao with in the National
Park.
