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.

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.
