Early morning Park Ride. Nestling in the Aravali hills, in the midst of the arid plains and denuded tracts of Rajasthan in north India, lies Ranthamabore. A haven for the adventure seeker and the wildlife watcher. 410 kms of desert ecology speckled with dhok, ronj, salai, ber and palm trees boast some of the best wildlife sightings Asia has to offer. This is where belts of dry deciduous forest with ancient Banyan and Peepul trees suddenly give way to lush green Oasis. Three major lakes - Rajbaugh, Milak Talao and Pada talao serve as watering holes for the herbivorous and carnivorous creatures that inhibit this national park which is studded as it is with Rajput pavilions and palaces and the imposing Ranthamabore fort.

Ranthamabore is famous for its Tigers and provides some of the best sightings of the majestic animal. Other attractions are the leopard, sambar, blue bull, chital, chinkara, hyena, jackal, fox, jungle cat, ratel, sloth bear, langur and wild boar. Over 300 species of birds are to be seen - peafowl, parakeets, partridges, storks, egrets, flycatchers, owls etc and other migratory varieties in the winter months that include, black eagle, greylag goose, shelduck, pintails etc.
