Ranthambore National Park
Rajasthan
The Ranthambore National Park, at the intersection of the Aravallis and the Vindhyas, is a rare juxtaposition of natural and historical richness in eastern Rajasthan, 14 km from Sawai Madhopur. Its geography ranges from mild to steep slopes, from flat-topped hills (Indala, Doodh-Bhat, and Chiroli) of the Vindhyas to conical hillocks and sharp ridges of the Aravallis, from large and level valleys (Lahpur, Nalghati, Khachida, Anantpur, etc.) to small rocky gorges.
About Ranthambore National Park
Ranthambore National Park, which is located in eastern Rajasthan close to the town of Sawai Madhopur and at the intersection of the Aravallis and the Vindhyas mountain ranges, is distinguished by its natural and historical wealth and stands out in stark contrast to the vast, arid, and treeless landscape that surrounds it. It is dispersed across a topography that is highly undulating and ranges from gentle to steep slopes, from the flat-topped hills of the Vindhyas (Indala, Doodh-Bhat and Chiroli) to the conical hillocks and sharp ridges of the Aravallis, and from the wide and flat valleys (Lahpur, Nalghati, Khachida, Anantpur, etc.) to the narrow rocky.
From this location extends the significant geological feature known as the “Great Boundary fault,” which was responsible for the collision of the Vindhyas and the old Aravalli Mountains. The Ranthambore Tiger Reserve is located in the state of Rajasthan in India. It is made up of several different areas, each of which has its own unique conservation history. These areas are also geographically distinct from one another, with only a few narrow corridors connecting them to Ranthambore National Park, the reserve’s centrepiece. The Ranthambore National Park, the Keladevi Sanctuary, and the Sawai Mansingh Sanctuary are the three most important of these.
The Ranthambore National Park continues to be of critical importance for the preservation and protection of flora and fauna. Because of this, certain tigers have even achieved the status of celebrities, as evidenced by the fact that they have their own television show and appear in a variety of documentaries. This region’s topography is unlike any other I’ve seen. This park is a dream come true for photographers because to its expansive lakes, steep grassy slopes, rough hills, and deep canyons. The chances of seeing a Tiger in Ranthambore National Park are among its most famous draws. Over the course of the past ten years, due to intensive preservation efforts The tiger population has experienced an increase in daytime activity.
There have been some great Tigers who have called Ranthambore their home, beginning with Ghengis Khan and continuing on with Noor, Machli, T17, T24, and now T19. Machli is known for having more photographs taken of her than any other tigress in the world, and she has also been the subject of a number of documentaries. For example, some of the unusual behaviours of tigers have been witnessed and documented at Ranthambore National Park. One such case occurred when a giant male tiger hunted openly from the thickets on the side of lakes and chased its prey, a Sambar deer, towards the lakes. One of the most incredible scenes ever taken on film during a Ranthambore Tiger Safari was a tiger and a crocodile engaging in a fierce battle over the carcass of a Sambhar deer and the tiger ultimately emerging victorious. The fight took place in broad daylight.
