Excursion near Tiger Den Ranthambore

Places to see in the Park
1. Ranthambore Fort
The most fascinating and most popular excursion taken from the national park is to the Ranthambore Fort. This fort was built by the Chauhans in the 10th century. The fort is located at a very strategic position between north and central India and hence it was always coveted by many rulers. This fort is famous for the 'Johar' (suicide by immolation to escape humilitaion) by Rajput women in 1301AD during the siege by Ala-ud-din Khilji. The temples and tanks add to the beauty of the fort. The seven gates and massive curtain walls, crowning a fall-topped hill presents a majestic view.

Guest Comments - Tiger Den Ranthambore
We have enjoyed our stay at the Tiger's Den and can certainly recommend the food. The hotel is in it's early days, but it has great potential. Good luck with the venture. The staff have all been extremely helpful and friendly.

A very relaxing end to a week of touring. Peaceful location next to a dramatic landscape. Safaris were excellent, lots of wildlife especially sighting of female Tiger. Fantastic experience.
Great food and service, very friendly hosts. Comfortable accommodation. We will certainly recommend it to our friends and return ourselves. We'll fly in by helicopter next time. Many thanks.

We come to Tiger's Den in Ranthambhore to spent some days for seeing Tigers and other animals. We had a nice stay. The resort was excellent and the staff was friendly and helpful. We saw a lot of Tigers and perhaps we have had good shots. I am sure we will come back in a few years, and we will visit the park and this resort again. Thank you very much for everything.
