Ranthambore National Park, one of North India’s largest and most popular national parks, is one of Rajasthan’s top wildlife tourism destinations. Ranthambore is located in Rajasthan’s Sawai Madhopur region, 180 kilometres from Jaipur (the nearest airport is Jaipur International Airport) and 110 kilometres from Kota. Sawai Madhopur is the nearest railway station to Ranthambore. The ten zones of Ranthambore National Park are excellent for tiger sightings, with zones 1-5 being the finest.
The park is considered one of India’s top wildlife reserves, and is best described as a tiger-friendly land that proudly preserves India’s most famous tigers, which are recognisable by distinctive marks on their bodies and governing territory. The deep jungle provides the finest circumstances for the tiger to hunt for his prey in stealth, and it is the only national park in India where mother and baby tigers may be found in large numbers.
