Ranthambore is famous for Royal Bengal Tigers and also hosts leopards, sloth bears, crocodiles and nearly 300 bird species across dry deciduous forest and lakes.
Ranthambore National Park is a celebrated gem in Rajasthan's Sawai Madhopur district, predominantly famous for its significant population of majestic Royal Bengal Tigers. Wildlife enthusiasts visit from across India and abroad to witness the wide range of flora and fauna — innumerable species of plants, trees, animals, reptiles and birds. The prime attraction of jeep and canter safaris is spotting wildlife as well as the rich vegetation.
Bengal tigers are the centre of attraction and can be sighted quite frequently, especially in Zones 1–5. Tigers in Ranthambore are active during the day, making them more visible to visitors. Apart from tigers, other highly spotted animals include:
Spotted deer (chital) and sambar deer — the two species of antlers — along with Indian Gazelle (chinkara) and bluebull (nilgai) are found in abundance. Observing deer, crocodiles basking by lakes, or nilgai in grassy fields adds joy to every safari.
The wide variety of remarkable bird species creates an ideal setting for bird watchers. Colourful waterfowl near lakes, the Indian eagle overhead, and vultures on high branches offer captivating sights. Ranthambore forest is home to nearly 300 species of resident and migratory birds including Kingfisher, Painted Spurfowl, Sarus Crane, large Cormorant, Bronzed-winged Jacana, Sandpiper, Nightjar, Great Horned Owl, Painted Sandgrouse and many others.
The captivating natural surroundings and tranquillity are profoundly relaxing. The blend of dense green region and sparse shrubbery near the Thar Desert makes this land unique. Nearly 300 species of vegetation are found in and around the reserve — mainly dry deciduous type due to scant rainfall.
The most dominant species are Dhok, Babul, Neem, Ber and Peepal. The Dhok tree (Anogeissus pendula) forms over three-fourths of the park's vegetation, growing up to 15 metres. Its leaves and fruits are an important food source for deer, antelope and nilgai.
Other significant trees include Banyan (Ficus bengalensis), Pipal (Ficus religiosa) and Neem (Azadirachta indica). Fruit-bearing trees include Mango, Tamarind (Imli), Jamun and Ber. Chhila (Butea monosperma), the Flame of the Forest, adds bright orange colour to the landscape.
Other notable flora: Gum, Gurjan, Kadam, Khair, Khajur, Kakera, Karel, Khimi, Kikar, Mahua, Salar, Kulu, Ronj, Tendu and others. Primary aquatic flowers in lakes are lotuses and water lilies; lake borders are adorned with Khus grass.
A tour to Ranthambore offers an unmatched experience with its rich flora and fauna. With diurnal tigers, Ranthambore is the most famous tiger reserve in India among tiger lovers.
