About Ranthambhore National Park

Situated at the junction of the Aravalli and the Vindhya ranges. Ranthambore is one of India's conservation success stories. Since becoming one of the original 11 areas under Project Tiger in 1973, the park has recovered much f its previous natural glory, proving that, with careful management, a once wooded area which has been reduced to arid scrub can be restored. In 1973, the then sanctuary of 60 square miles (156 square km) was expanded to 158 square miles (411 square km) with a core area of 65 square miles (169 square km) and later became a national park. In 1984 and adjoining area of 40 square miles (104 square km) to the south became the Sawai Man Singh Sanctuary (named after the last ruling Maharaja of Jaipur. The blend between nature and history is strong in this park, and like Bandhavgarh National Park in Madhya Pradesh the fort, the temples the tanks and other relies are a constant reminder of man's involvement in the area. The fort commanded a large area and up to the late - 13th century was the center of a Hindu Kingdom. During the 18th century, the area was protected as a hunting area for and by the Maharaja of Jaipur and It is thanks to an extension on this protection that the park exists today. The fort is the natural focal point of the park with a series of well - established artificial lakes stretching to the north. The park entrance is only eight miles from Sawai Madhopur station on the main Bombay - Delhi line. A meerguage line connects Sawai Madhopur with Jaipur (10miles / 162 km).
