Accessibility by Road

Ranthambhore Tiger Reserve liest at the junction of the Aravalis and the Vindhayas, standing out conspicuously in the vast arid and dry tract of eastern Rajasthan, barely 14 kilometers from Sawai Madhopur.

It spreads over a highly undulating topography varying from the gentle to steep slopes, from flat topped hills of the Vindhyas to the conical hillocks and the sharp ridges of the Aravalis, from wide and flat valleys to narrow rocky gorges. 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 bound by the rivers Chambal in the south and the Banas in the north.

Pure stands of the 'flame of the forest' interspersed with open grasslands at the pleatues, six large lakes - Gilai sagar, Lahpur, Mansarovar, Malik Talao, Raj Bagh and Padam Talao within the National Park. Tiger being at the apex of the food chain, lord over the kingdom in a subtle way. Solitary by nature, it operates in the stealth. Therefore tiger sightings, frequent as they are, are always a matter of chance. However even evidences of tiger's activities are very exciting.

The other cats found in Ranthambhore are Leopard, Caracal, Leopard cat, Fishing cat and the Jungle cat. Besides the big cats, the other large predators of Ranthambhore are Sloth beer, Striped hyena, Jackal, Desert fox, Palm civet, Common mongoose, Crocodile, Python etc. There are two species of deer namely the Spotted Deer & Sambhar and the two kinds of antelopes namely the Indian Gazelle (Chinkara) and the Bluebull (Nilgai).

Ranthambhore is also very rich in bird life with more than 250 species of birds. Infact , for a keen bird watcher Ranthambhore and the surrounding area is paradise. Some of the more interesting resident species of birds are large comorant, painted spurfowl, sarus crane ,bronze winged jacana, sandpiper, kingfisher, nightjar, painted sandgrouse, great horned owl and many more regular winter migrants which come from their nesting grounds north of Himalayas to Ranthambhore and surrounding areas.

Besides tiger, there are many other animals to observe, understand and enjoy. Graceful spotted deer, huge sambhar, crocodiles basking around the banks of the lakes, vultures soaring in the sky, crested serpent eagle scanning the ground from it's perch or the kaleidoscope of waterfowl at the pools are all the interest for a visitor with sensitivity. Ranthambhore is a great experience in totality and our Tiger Den Resort will enhance your experience by making it cool & comfortable.
