Tigers & Forts
Ranthambore National Park is a fascinating blend of history and nature. Inside the park is a formidable fort that was built in the 10th century. A climb to the Ganesh temple on top offers great views of the park’s landscape.
The landscape is much more open that in many other parks, making tiger sightings more frequent, though still a matter of chance. Other wildlife includes sambhar, nilgai, sloth bear, jackal, crocodile, much bird life, and even some rarely seen leopard.
