'Nahargarh Ranthambore'
lies near the old tiger sanctuary situated in Sawai Madhopur which
is a very well known Wildlife tourist destination.
Ranthambhore National Park is one of the prime examples of Project Tiger’s conservation efforts in Rajasthan. The forests
around the Ranthambhore Fort were once, the private hunting
grounds of the Maharajas of Jaipur. The desire to preserve the game
in these forests for sport, was responsible for their conservation,
and subsequent rescue by Project Tiger.
The Park sprawls over an estimated area of 400 sq kms. Steep crags
embrace a network of lakes and rivers, and a top one of these hills,
is the impressive Ranthambhore Fort, built in the 10th century. The
terrain fluctuates between impregnable forests and open bush land.
The forest is the typically dry deciduous type, with dhok, being the
most prominent tree. The entry point to the Park, goes straight to
the foot of the fort and the forest rest house, Jogi Mahal. The
latter boasts of the second-largest banyan tree in India. The Padam
Talab, the Raj Bagh Talab and the Malik Talab are some of the lakes
in the area, that attract the tiger population. They have been
spotted at the edges of these lakes, and Jogi Mahal itself. Old
crumbling walls, ruined pavilions, wells, and other ancient
structures stand witness to the region's glorious past. The entire
forest is peppered with the battlements and spillovers of the
Ranthambhore Fort - tigers are said to frequent these ruins, too.
As a result of stringent efforts in conservation, tigers, the prime
assets of the Park, have become more and more active during the day.
More than in any other park or sanctuary in India, tigers are easily
spotted here in daylight. They can be seen lolling around lazily in
the sun, or feverishly hunting down Sambar around the lakes.
