About
Ranthambore National Park
This Oberoi
Groups` luxury spa resort, located adjacent to the famous
Ranthambhor Tiger Reserve, is the first luxury jungle
resort in India. The Resort consists of luxury air
conditioned tents, located discretely so as to ensure
maximum privacy. The tents, restaurants, bar, etc., occupy
only 5% of the Site, thus maintaining its natural beauty.
The Ranthambore Tiger Reserve has a large variety of Flora
& Fauna. President Bill Clinton, during his visit to India
in March 2000, saw two tigers at Ranthambore in a single
day.
Each of the 25 air-conditioned tents, has an area of 790
square feet with spacious, beautifully appointed interiors
with teak wood flooring. The bathrooms are marbled with
free standing bath tubs & separate shower stalls. There is
a private deck for sun bathing & outdoor dining.
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.
