Lakes and rivers, hills and forests form the back drop to Ranthambore National Park. A 10th Century fort watches over the bushland which is peppered with ruined pavilions and hides from the days when the park was a royal hunting ground. Now protected and secure, tiger roam across this wilderness alongside panther, marsh crocodile, hyena, jackal, wild boar and gazelle. An abundance of bird life including the Bonelli and Crested Serpent Eagles along with the great Indian Horned Owl will enthral bird lovers. Morning and evening game drives offer the opportunity to see endangered tigers in their natural habitat, fending for themselves and caring for their young.
